High-Risk Morning Crashes in Toms River
Crashes near convenience store driveways or commercial entrances—like the one outside the Wawa on Madison Ave—are especially common during early morning hours, when visibility may be limited and traffic patterns shift with commuters, delivery drivers, and early shoppers. These zones often involve sudden stops, turning vehicles, and pedestrian traffic, which can contribute to multi-vehicle collisions and multiple injuries.
