Freeway Crashes in Ventura County
High-speed routes like the 118 Freeway are vital for commuters across Ventura County, but they also carry an elevated risk for serious collisions—particularly at on-ramps and merging points like the one at Stearns St. Early morning crashes in these zones are often tied to reduced visibility, abrupt lane changes, or congestion-related braking.
Even a single freeway accident can result in significant disruption and injury. Victims may require ongoing medical care, physical therapy, and time off work. It’s also common for injury victims to face difficulty dealing with insurance companies or establishing liability—especially when a crash happens during rush-hour traffic conditions.
