Car Accidents in Queens, New York
Vehicle collisions are a frequent occurrence in Queens, particularly in high-traffic neighborhoods like Ozone Park. Intersections such as 101st Ave and Woodhaven Blvd are known for heavy traffic flow, increasing the likelihood of accidents caused by driver distraction, speeding, failure to yield, or improper lane changes.
According to the New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT), intersections are among the most common locations for vehicle accidents in the city, often leading to injuries ranging from minor to severe. Common injuries from such collisions include whiplash, soft tissue damage, fractures, and head trauma. Even if injuries seem minor at first, it’s crucial for those involved to seek medical attention immediately, as some conditions may not present symptoms right away.
Drivers are urged to exercise caution at busy intersections, remain vigilant of traffic signals, and adhere to speed limits to reduce the risk of accidents. Distracted driving—such as using mobile phones or adjusting in-vehicle controls—remains a leading cause of crashes in urban areas.
