Expressway Crashes in Monroe County
Route 590 is a heavily traveled corridor through Monroe County, connecting neighborhoods and business centers throughout the greater Rochester area. Accidents near exit ramps—like this one at Highland Ave—are common due to sudden lane changes, merging traffic, and variable speeds as drivers prepare to exit or enter the highway.
BLS-level injury crashes often involve soft tissue damage, back strain, or minor head trauma. While not critical, these injuries can lead to ongoing pain and require medical follow-up, especially if left untreated.
Expressway crashes also introduce additional hazards, such as limited shoulder space and high-speed traffic, which can complicate emergency response and put both victims and responders at risk. Proper investigation helps determine whether the cause was distracted driving, following too closely, or another contributing factor.
For those injured, documenting medical care and understanding insurance procedures are essential first steps in navigating post-crash recovery.
