Urban Collision Dangers in Richmond’s Newtowne West Area
W Broad St is one of Richmond’s primary arterial roads, serving high volumes of traffic, including buses, commuters, and pedestrians. Collisions in urban districts like Newtowne West often occur at night when visibility decreases and traffic patterns shift due to nightlife and reduced traffic enforcement.
