Common Causes of Traffic Accidents in New Jersey
Accidents like the one reported
on JFK Boulevard underscore the risks motorists and pedestrians face daily on busy New Jersey roadways. Frequent contributing factors include:
- Distracted driving: Mobile phone use, GPS adjustments, or other distractions that take attention away from the road.
- Speeding: Reduced reaction times and greater crash severity at higher speeds.
- Failure to yield: Collisions at intersections and crosswalks often involve drivers who fail to yield properly.
- Impaired driving: Alcohol or drug use significantly raises the chance of serious crashes.
- Adverse conditions: Poor lighting, fog, rain, and other weather conditions can reduce visibility and increase driver error.
Remaining attentive and cautious, especially in urban traffic corridors like JFK Boulevard, can help reduce the risk of these dangerous incidents. Traffic accidents may lead to serious injuries, prolonged recovery periods, and unexpected financial burdens.
