High-Traffic Intersection Crashes in Tucson
The intersection of North Kolb Rd and East Broadway Blvd is a known hotspot for collisions in Tucson’s east side. Connecting two of the city’s major arterials, it handles a high volume of traffic daily—particularly during peak midday hours. This combination of congestion, turning movements, and signal timing makes it especially prone to crashes.
Sunday’s accident highlights the risks that come with navigating high-traffic intersections. Even when traffic signals are functioning properly, driver distraction, misjudged gaps, or failure to yield can result in serious collisions.
