Intersection Collisions in North Carolina
Crashes at intersections like Fox Rd and Carlton Dr are a common source of injuries across North Carolina. In urban areas such as Raleigh, intersections often combine high vehicle volumes with turning traffic, pedestrian crossings, and changing signals, all of which can increase the likelihood of collisions.
According to the North Carolina Department of Transportation, intersection-related crashes make up a substantial portion of injury accidents in the state. Contributing factors often include distracted driving, failing to yield, and misjudging the speed or distance of oncoming vehicles.
Drivers can reduce the risk of intersection collisions by slowing down when approaching crossings, scanning all directions before proceeding, and avoiding distractions such as mobile devices. Taking these precautions is especially important in residential and mixed-use areas where traffic conditions can change rapidly.
