The injury accident at State Route 37 and I-71 is another example of the risks present at highway interchanges—locations where high-speed travel, lane changes, and merging vehicles often create hazardous conditions. In growing communities like Sunbury, increased traffic volumes have added to the complexity and danger of these intersections.
SR 37 is a well-traveled east-west route through Delaware County, and its junction with I-71 sees thousands of vehicles daily, including commercial trucks, commuters, and local traffic. Crashes at this location are not uncommon, particularly during peak travel times or holiday weekends.
