Highway Interchanges and Collision Risks in Raleigh
Major highway interchanges, such as Gorman St and I-40 EB, pose significant risks for drivers, especially during early morning hours when visibility is lower, and fatigue may impact motorists. High-speed travel combined with merging lanes and sudden braking can contribute to crashes in these areas.
One of the most common causes of highway accidents is driver inattention. Failing to adjust speed for merging traffic, distracted driving, and improper lane changes are all frequent contributors to serious collisions. Additionally, heavy commuter traffic during peak hours increases the likelihood of multi-vehicle crashes, particularly near entrance and exit ramps.
For those injured in a highway crash, the aftermath can involve medical expenses, rehabilitation, and difficulty navigating insurance claims. Seeking guidance on financial assistance and legal options can help accident victims secure the support they need to recover.
