Injury Collisions on Raleigh’s Interstate Ramps
Crashes on or near interstate ramps such as I-40 EB at Lake Wheeler Rd are a frequent concern in Raleigh. These junctions often involve high-speed merging, short reaction times, and complex traffic patterns, all of which can increase the risk of accidents. In particular, Lake Wheeler Rd serves as a vital connector for local traffic accessing the interstate system, often leading to congestion and sudden slowdowns.
