Car Accidents in Florida
Each year, thousands of vehicle collisions take place on Florida’s roads and highways. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, many of these crashes are the result of driver error, impaired driving, or failure to yield at intersections. Rural highways and intersections like those in Wakulla County often see serious accidents due to higher speeds and fewer traffic signals.
Here are some common causes of wrecks that happen at intersections and highways like these:
- Failure to Yield Right of Way: Many crashes at intersections occur because one driver fails to yield to another, especially during turns or merges. Misjudging the speed or distance of another vehicle can result in high-impact collisions.
- Distracted Driving: Using a phone, adjusting the radio, or even talking to passengers can divert a driver’s attention. Even a few seconds of distraction at an intersection can lead to a crash.
- Limited Visibility: Poor lighting or obstructions near intersections may make it hard to see oncoming traffic, particularly in more rural or wooded areas. This can increase the risk of being struck when crossing or turning.
- Speeding: Higher speeds on state or county highways increase stopping distance and make it more difficult to avoid a sudden hazard or vehicle entering the roadway unexpectedly.
- Confusing Intersections: Some rural intersections lack clear signage or markings, which may cause confusion, especially for drivers unfamiliar with the area. This often leads to improper stops or turns.
