Intersection Accidents in Virginia
Intersections such as W 9th St and Perry St are common locations for injury-causing crashes in Richmond and across Virginia. The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles reports that intersection-related collisions make up a significant percentage of statewide traffic injuries, with frequent contributing factors including failure to yield, distracted driving, and speeding.
Side-impact collisions, which often occur in these settings, can cause severe injuries due to the reduced structural protection on the sides of vehicles. In dense urban areas, these incidents may also involve pedestrians or cyclists, increasing the potential for serious harm.
Safety experts encourage drivers to approach intersections cautiously, remain aware of cross traffic, and avoid distractions while behind the wheel. Local transportation authorities continue to implement safety measures—such as improved traffic signal timing and enhanced signage—to help reduce collision rates.
