Coastal Intersection Hazards in Sussex County
Rural and coastal intersections like Lighthouse Rd and Laws Point Rd often pose serious traffic risks due to low visibility, wide rural turns, and limited traffic control measures. These roads, while typically quiet, serve seasonal visitors and year-round residents alike, increasing traffic unpredictability.
Crashes in such areas often occur during evening hours when lighting conditions worsen and driver fatigue can set in. Even minor collisions in these zones may result in injury due to speed or isolated surroundings delaying emergency response.
Following any crash, prompt medical care and proper reporting are essential steps in protecting both physical health and future legal or insurance options.
