Kanawha Turnpike in South Charleston serves as a major connector route through residential and school zones. High-volume traffic and proximity to school facilities make this stretch particularly susceptible to collisions involving multiple vehicles.
According to West Virginia traffic safety data, multi-vehicle accidents are more likely to result in injuries due to the chain-reaction effect of impacts. Contributing factors often include distracted driving, unsafe following distances, and failure to adjust to traffic flow in congested areas.
