Vehicle accidents in Manhattan, particularly in neighborhoods like Inwood, are common due to the borough’s dense traffic and busy intersections. Areas such as W 207th St and Sherman Ave often experience heavy vehicle and pedestrian traffic, increasing the likelihood of collisions caused by driver distraction, speeding, or failure to yield at intersections.
