Collision Risks in Small Town Intersections
Intersections like Old Bunn Rd and E Gannon Ave in Zebulon, while quieter than urban highways, still present significant safety concerns. Collisions at these local crossings often stem from misjudged turns, failure to yield, or distractions at the wheel.
Though smaller in scale, rural and small-town crashes can be just as serious, especially when emergency response times are stretched or when visibility at intersections is compromised. Victims in these crashes frequently deal with injury recovery, vehicle loss, and the complications of insurance claims.
Drivers in Zebulon and similar communities should take care when navigating intersections, particularly during afternoon hours when traffic from schools or workplaces increases. Even a brief lapse in focus can result in a major collision.
