Highway Accidents and Traffic Safety in New Hampshire
Crashes on high-speed roadways like the F.E. Everett Turnpike can be especially dangerous due to increased travel speeds, higher traffic volumes, and the potential for multi-vehicle collisions. Interstates and highways pose unique risks, including sudden lane changes, driver fatigue, and visibility issues during peak commuting hours.
According to the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT), highway crashes are often linked to driver inattention, speeding, and congestion-related sudden stops. Highways such as the Everett Turnpike see heavy daily traffic, making collision risks more prevalent, especially during rush hours or inclement weather conditions.
For those involved in highway crashes, seeking immediate medical attention is crucial, as injuries may not always be immediately apparent.
