Highway Ramp Accidents in Massachusetts
Crashes near highway ramps, such as the one on River St near I-495 NB, often occur due to merging conflicts, high-speed lane changes, or misjudging traffic flow. The presence of accelerating and decelerating vehicles nearby can increase the risk of collisions, particularly when drivers fail to yield properly.
According to Massachusetts traffic data, crashes near highway entrances and exits contribute to a significant percentage of roadway accidents. Many of these incidents involve rear-end collisions, sideswipes, or failure to maintain lane position, leading to injuries and traffic disruptions.
To reduce the risk of highway ramp accidents, drivers should approach merges with caution, maintain a safe following distance, and remain aware of surrounding traffic. Avoiding distractions and adjusting speed appropriately can also help prevent serious crashes.
