Interstate Accidents and Road Safety in Kansas
Accidents at major intersections like I-135 and 77th Street North are common in Kansas, particularly in areas where high-speed interstate traffic merges with local roads. Factors contributing to such accidents include distracted driving, sudden lane changes, and failure to yield at interchanges.
According to the Kansas Department of Transportation, interstate highways like I-135 see frequent accidents due to high traffic volumes and the mix of commercial and passenger vehicles.

For individuals involved in interstate accidents, seeking immediate medical attention is crucial, even if injuries are not immediately apparent. Documenting the scene, gathering witness information, and understanding insurance policies are important steps in the aftermath of a crash. If another driver’s negligence contributed to the accident, victims may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
