The Dangers of High-Speed Roadways in Florida
E International Speedway Blvd is one of DeLand’s busiest thoroughfares, carrying high volumes of traffic throughout the day. Roads with higher speed limits often contribute to more severe crashes, as the force of impact increases with speed. Collisions on fast-moving roadways can be particularly dangerous when multiple lanes of traffic and sudden braking lead to chain-reaction crashes.
Intersections like the one at Big John Dr present additional risks due to merging traffic, vehicles making left turns, and pedestrian crossings. Drivers who fail to yield, speed through intersections, or engage in distracted driving significantly increase the likelihood of serious collisions.
Victims of high-speed crashes may experience significant medical expenses, vehicle damage, and lost wages due to injuries. Seeking legal guidance can help those affected understand their rights and explore options for financial recovery.
