Intersection Accidents in Ohio
Collisions at intersections, such as W Broad St & N Brinker Ave, are among the most frequent and dangerous types of accidents. These crashes are often caused by:
- Failure to Yield – Drivers misjudging the right-of-way can lead to serious collisions.
- Red-Light Running – Accidents frequently occur when drivers attempt to beat a changing light.
- Distracted Driving – Cell phone use, eating, or adjusting in-car settings can cause delayed reactions.
- Speeding – Excessive speed reduces the ability to stop in time, especially at intersections.
Ohio law requires drivers to exercise caution and obey traffic signals at intersections to prevent crashes. Unfortunately, even when drivers follow the rules, the reckless or negligent actions of others can still lead to injuries.
