Intersection Safety Concerns in Berks County
Collisions at intersections like Blandon Rd and Pricetown Rd are a common concern in areas like Ruscombmanor Township, where traffic from residential, commercial, and rural zones converge. These intersections can become hazardous due to limited sightlines, high-speed turns, and variable traffic patterns.

Contributing factors often include failure to yield, distracted driving, and poor visibility during early morning hours—conditions likely present during this crash.
Efforts to reduce these incidents include proposed safety enhancements like clearer signage, signal improvements, and increased public awareness about right-of-way and cautious turning behavior.
