The Dangers of High-Speed Roadway Crashes in Delaware
Major highways like Rt 113 in Frankford can be hazardous due to the high volume of traffic and the potential for sudden stops, lane changes, or driver inattention. Accidents on high-speed roadways often result in more severe injuries, especially when collisions occur at intersections or involve distracted or impaired drivers.
Unconsciousness following a crash can indicate serious trauma, making rapid medical intervention critical. Victims of such accidents may experience head injuries, internal damage, or other severe conditions that require immediate care. Seeking medical attention, even after seemingly minor crashes, is essential, as symptoms may develop hours after an accident.
Drivers are encouraged to stay alert, reduce speed in congested areas, and maintain a safe following distance to minimize the risk of collisions. Understanding insurance policies and documenting accident details can also help victims navigate the post-crash recovery process.
