Garner, a growing suburban area outside Raleigh, experiences frequent vehicle accidents due to increasing traffic congestion and residential expansion. According to the North Carolina Department of Transportation, thousands of crashes occur annually in Wake County, many leading to injuries.
Residential roads like Curtiss Drive can be particularly risky due to factors such as distracted driving, speeding, and failure to yield. Morning traffic also increases the likelihood of rear-end collisions and side-impact crashes as commuters travel through local neighborhoods.
