Traffic collisions in retail-heavy corridors like Lyell Ave are a common concern for Rochester residents. The area around the 437 block, home to several businesses including Walgreens, often sees heavy vehicle and foot traffic throughout the day—raising the potential for incidents in parking lots or drive-thru lanes.
Even BLS-level crashes can result in injuries that require medical care, including whiplash, seatbelt bruising, or soft tissue damage. Victims of these crashes may initially feel fine, only to experience pain or mobility issues in the hours following the incident.
