Busy roadways like MD-355 are common sites for traffic collisions, particularly at intersections and high-volume areas. Accidents often result from distracted driving, speeding, failure to yield, or adverse road conditions. When lanes are blocked due to a crash, congestion increases, raising the risk of secondary collisions.
Emergency responders play a critical role in managing crash scenes, treating the injured, and ensuring traffic safety. However, accident victims may face challenges beyond the initial crash, including medical expenses, vehicle damage, and long-term recovery.
