Intersection Accident Dangers Along Brawley Ave In Fresno CA

Intersections in Fresno grow increasingly busy in the afternoons and with the increased traffic comes an increased chance for collisions. Packed intersections, like the one at Shaw Avenue and Brawley Avenue, bring traffic together from four different directions with traffic spanning nine lanes on some sides.

Intersections can make drivers nervous as they prepare to turn across oncoming traffic. This added pressure can cause a driver to hit the gas prematurely and spark a collision.  Intersections can also take distracted drivers by surprise and cause motorists to run stop lights or rear-end cars that were already stopped.

These mistakes cause serious accidents and often result in life-threatening injuries.

Car Accident with Injuries at Intersection in Northeast Fresno

An intersection accident in Fresno left two people hurt Thursday afternoon. The Fresno Bee reports the accident occurred at the intersection of Shaw Avenue and Brawley Avenue on January 6, 2022.

Fresno Police responded to the scene to find two vehicles had collided. The crash knocked out power to the traffic lights in the area. In video from the scene, a silver car is seen with major front-end damage. A damaged white car came to a stop nearby.

Two people were reportedly injured in the collision. No information has been released about their conditions.

The Fresno Police Department continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding this major accident.

Support for Injured Victims After a Fresno Intersection Accident

Car Accident victims in Fresno must fight to earn full compensation from an at-fault driver’s car insurance provider. Support must cover medical bills now and those that might arrive in the future.

This support is critical because there’s no way to know how long a serious injury will take to heal. Surgeries and physical therapy may be necessary years in the future.

These are just a few of the most common traumatic injuries treated in Fresno emergency rooms:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI): From severe concussions to symptoms of seizures and memory loss, a TBI can cause long-lasting damage.
  • Neck injuries: The neck can suffer disc, nerve, and ligament damage that can be debilitating and painful. Whiplash results from a quick back-and-forth motion of the neck during an impact.
  • Back injuries: Lumbar injuries and disc damage can all create long-term back pain.
  • Fractures: The bones in the arms and legs, feet and hands are often broken in major impacts. Hairline fractures can be almost invisible until pain a few days later forces doctors to look closer at an X-ray.
  • Soft tissue injuries: Muscles and tendons are often bruised or torn in accidents. The tissue that supports internal organs might also suffer damage.

Beyond medical bills, a car insurance company should also be asked for compensation for the hours a victim misses at work. The physical pain and the emotional trauma accident victims endure can also earn support.
