Crash Risks on North Carolina’s Interstates
Interstate corridors like I-87 are essential commuter and freight routes in North Carolina but can become accident-prone due to dense traffic, merging lanes, and sudden speed changes. Crashes at on- and off-ramp intersections, such as Poole Rd, often involve rear-end collisions, side-swipes, or high-speed impacts.
According to the North Carolina Department of Transportation, a significant portion of serious injury crashes in the state occur on interstates and major highways. These incidents are often exacerbated by distracted driving, speeding, or improper lane changes.
Drivers are encouraged to remain attentive, especially near exit and entry ramps, and to adjust their speed during heavy traffic periods. For those affected by crashes on North Carolina highways, obtaining medical care and pursuing proper documentation are crucial first steps. Consulting with professionals can further support recovery and protect one’s rights.
