Highway Merging Accidents and Injury Risks in Tolleson
The I-10 and Loop 101 interchange in Tolleson is one of the busiest traffic junctions in the Phoenix metro area. Crashes in this zone, particularly during morning hours, often involve high-speed traffic, abrupt merging, and limited escape space—factors that contribute to both vehicle damage and physical injury.
Injury accidents at highway interchanges frequently result in whiplash, back strain, or head trauma, even if airbags deploy correctly. Victims may need emergency care followed by ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, or time off work—especially when impact occurs at full highway speeds.
