Intersection Accidents Are Deadly
Though limited information about this incident was available, there are many such incidents that happen in intersections around the area. Determining fault often requires careful examination of evidence such as traffic camera footage and witness statements. An accident occurring early in the morning could mean it is hard to find those witnesses. Police may use accident reconstruction services to determine what occurred as well.
Common causes of intersection accidents include distracted drivers, fatigue or impairment, and driver inexperience. Faulty traffic signals or poor visibility can be a factor in some cases. Reckless driving, such as a person trying to beat a changing red light, is another reason these types of accidents happen.
