Crashes on rural roads, such as Charles Town Road, often pose significant risks due to high speeds, limited visibility, and fewer traffic control measures. Accidents in these areas may be caused by sharp curves, driver inattention, or poor road conditions.
Drivers can help prevent accidents by reducing speed on unfamiliar roads, staying alert for potential hazards, and maintaining safe following distances. Defensive driving techniques, such as anticipating the actions of other motorists, also play a critical role in preventing collisions.
