Ramp Collisions and South Florida Highway Risks
Crashes occurring on entrance and exit ramps—like Thursday’s collision on the SB entrance to I-95 at SR-704—often result from sudden merging, speeding, or reduced visibility in low-light conditions. In densely populated areas like West Palm Beach, these ramps see heavy traffic during early hours, making them prone to serious collisions if drivers fail to adjust speed or stay alert.
Even partial blockages can cause chain reactions on major interstates, especially in areas with limited room for maneuvering. Ramp crashes are also uniquely hazardous for emergency responders due to narrow shoulders and fast-moving adjacent traffic.
Injured victims of ramp-related crashes may face long-term consequences, from musculoskeletal injuries to lost income or long-term disability. Prompt medical attention and proper documentation are crucial steps following any roadway incident—particularly when it occurs during busy commuting hours.
