Interstate Accidents and Exit Ramp Dangers in Metairie
Crashes near highway exits like Clearview Parkway are common, especially at night when reduced visibility, fatigue, and merging traffic increase the risk of high-impact collisions. Exit ramps present unique hazards as drivers attempt to slow down or merge across lanes, often leading to rear-end or side-impact crashes.
Even single-vehicle crashes in these zones can result in serious injuries due to highway speeds. Common injuries include whiplash, chest trauma from seatbelts or airbags, and back or neck strain.
For drivers in the Metairie area, maintaining safe speeds near exits and being alert to sudden stops or merging vehicles is key to avoiding injury collisions. If you’re involved in a crash—especially on high-speed roadways like I-10—seek medical evaluation, even if symptoms seem minor at first.
