Urban Street Collisions and BLS Injury Risks in Rochester
Even minor collisions on urban roads like Lyell Avenue can cause injuries that affect daily routines and require medical follow-up. Parking lot exits, sudden stops, and lane changes are common risk factors in dense commercial zones, particularly during afternoon hours when traffic volumes are high.
Although the incident was deemed a BLS-level emergency, typically involving injuries such as whiplash, bruising, or mild strains, those affected should still seek appropriate care. Symptoms may not appear immediately and can worsen over time if left untreated.
