Car Accidents in Ohio
Car accidents are a persistent issue in Ohio, particularly in busy metropolitan areas like Columbus. Intersections, such as E Rich St and S 3rd St, are common locations for crashes due to the high volume of traffic, frequent stops, and potential driver misjudgments.
Many accidents at intersections result from failure to yield, distracted driving, or running red lights. Additionally, nighttime driving presents added risks, including reduced visibility and drowsy drivers. Practicing defensive driving and remaining alert can help prevent these incidents.
