Highway Accidents in South Charleston
Corridor G is one of the busiest routes in the South Charleston region, connecting residential, retail, and industrial zones. With multiple lanes of fast-moving traffic, high merge volume, and frequent lane changes, the corridor presents unique safety challenges, especially near intersections like Preferred Place, where visibility and navigation can become difficult during peak hours.
Accidents in these areas often result in significant injury due to high-speed impacts and sudden braking. Injuries may include back and neck trauma, fractures, internal injuries, or head trauma, depending on the nature of the crash and the vehicles involved.
