Intersection Safety in Ramapo: A Growing Concern
Intersections like Rt 59 and College Rd in Ramapo serve as key access points for both residential and commercial traffic. While often well-trafficked and controlled by signals, these crossings remain hotspots for vehicle accidents, especially during early morning hours when visibility or attentiveness may be compromised.
Even when accidents result in minor injuries, the implications can still affect victims’ well-being, daily routines, and transportation. Common injuries from lower-speed crashes include neck and back strain, minor head trauma, or soft-tissue injuries—all of which may require follow-up care.
For drivers in Rockland County, this incident serves as a reminder of the importance of defensive driving, even in familiar areas. Slowing down when approaching intersections, double-checking for cross traffic, and avoiding distractions can significantly reduce the likelihood of crashes.
