Rural and suburban roads like Bolivar Road in Sullivan can pose accident risks due to varying speed limits, sharp turns, and unpredictable traffic patterns. Collisions in these areas are often linked to factors such as driver inattention, weather conditions, or mechanical failures. Even at lower speeds, accidents can result in significant injuries requiring medical attention and recovery time.
