Parking Lot Accidents Like This Highlight Everyday Risks
Despite being low-speed environments, parking lots like those at Franklin Park Mall can still produce serious injury crashes. With multiple vehicles maneuvering in and out of tight spaces and pedestrians walking through aisles, distractions or limited visibility can quickly lead to collisions.
SUVs, in particular, can obstruct driver views due to their size—contributing to accidents when backing up or turning. Injuries in parking lot crashes often involve whiplash, falls, or impacts with parked vehicles and can still require medical treatment and follow-up care.
Drivers are urged to stay alert in high-traffic commercial areas, obey posted signs, and double-check surroundings before moving in any direction—especially during busy shopping hours.
