Interstate Accidents in South Florida
Collisions on I-95, particularly through dense urban areas like West Palm Beach, present serious safety risks to drivers and passengers. The section of highway near Okeechobee Blvd is one of the region’s most traveled interchanges, making it a frequent site for multi-vehicle crashes, often exacerbated by aggressive driving, lane changes, and congested travel conditions.
Even when roadblocks are not confirmed, injury crashes can have a lasting impact on victims — from medical costs and transportation disruption to legal and emotional stress.
