Overnight Collisions on Major Raleigh Routes
Late-night crashes, like the one at Capital Blvd and Buffaloe Rd, often highlight the risks of overnight driving in urban areas. Factors such as fatigue, reduced visibility, and lower traffic enforcement presence can increase the likelihood of a serious collision after dark.
Capital Blvd is one of Raleigh’s most heavily traveled roadways, stretching through residential, commercial, and industrial zones. Intersections like Buffaloe Rd often see constant vehicle flow—even during early morning hours—which heightens the chance of crashes when drivers fail to account for speed, light changes, or sudden stops.
Injury accidents that occur during the early hours can also present challenges for emergency response, particularly if victims are not quickly noticed or if visibility is compromised. These incidents remind us of the importance of staying alert at all times—especially when navigating major intersections after dark.
