Rural Intersection Collisions in West Virginia
Crashes in rural areas like Martins Branch Rd and Midway Dr often come with unique hazards. These roads, while vital for local travel, can have limited signage, narrower lanes, and visibility challenges—all of which increase the risk of collisions, especially at intersections.
Tuesday’s incident in Sissonville underscores how quickly a routine drive can turn dangerous. In many rural crashes, victims suffer from a range of injuries—from minor bruises to more serious trauma requiring extended medical treatment. Quick EMS response, as seen in this case, is critical to stabilizing patients and preventing further complications.
