Highway Accidents in Arkansas
Highways like U.S. Highway 64 serve as key transportation routes in Arkansas, connecting towns and cities across the state. Due to the mix of local and through traffic, these roadways are often the scene of collisions, particularly in areas where speed limits change or where intersections and rural roads intersect with higher-speed travel lanes.
According to reports from Arkansas transportation officials, crashes on major highways are often caused by distracted driving, speeding, and failure to yield the right of way. Accidents in rural or semi-rural areas can be particularly hazardous, as emergency response times may be longer, increasing the risk of severe injuries.
For those injured in highway accidents, dealing with medical expenses, lost wages, and vehicle repairs can be stressful.
