Highways like the Jackie Robinson Parkway can be particularly dangerous due to winding roads, limited shoulder space, and high-speed travel. Crashes on these roadways often result from sudden lane changes, speeding, or distracted driving.
Motorists should always remain cautious, maintain safe following distances, and adjust speed according to road conditions to prevent accidents. Driving defensively in congested or high-speed areas can significantly reduce crash risks.
For those involved in a highway accident, seeking medical attention is essential—even if injuries appear minor. Some injuries, such as whiplash or internal trauma, may not be immediately noticeable.
