Afternoon Ramp Crashes a Growing Concern in Sarasota
Off-ramp collisions like the one at Exit 205 on I-75 are increasingly common as traffic volumes continue to rise in Sarasota. These transitional zones are frequently the site of sudden stops, lane changes, and speed shifts—all contributing factors in rear-end and side-impact collisions.
Drivers approaching ramps should reduce speed early and remain alert to merging traffic. Victims injured in such accidents may face mounting medical bills, vehicle damage, and emotional distress. In Florida, those harmed by another driver’s actions have the legal right to pursue compensation.
