Rhode Island Personal Injury Attorney

 

Rhode Island personal injury attorney Kevin Landry urges caution to RI drivers who are driving on any of the interchanges that are considered 8 of the top 10 most dangerous interchanges in New England.

It is a fact that New England has some of the most dangerous roads in New England. Rhode Island in particular has never been known for its easily navigable roads – yet the GoLocalProv News Team has uncovered some chilling new facts.  In a recent compilation of the most dangerous New England interchanges, Rhode Island has “crashed in” on eight of the top ten spots.

“I find it startling to note that 8 of the 10 most dangerous interchanges in New England, are located here in the state of Rhode Island” comments Rhode Island personal injury lawyer, Kevin P. Landry.  “All drivers must take extreme precautions now, to help avoid accidents and injuries that are becoming more frequent on these particular stretches of roadway.”

What Are The Interchanges in Rhode Island to Watch Out For?

Out of the ten most dangerous interchanges in all of New England, eight of them are located in Rhode Island. They are as follows:
8. I-295/exit 3 Cranston – 95 crashes, 59 injuries and 1 fatality in 3 years

7. I-95/exit 24 Providence – 134 crashes, 52 injuries and 1 fatality in 3 years

6. I-295/exit 6 Johnston – 144 crashes, 65 injuries and 1 fatality in 3 years

5. I-95/exit 18 Providence – 232 crashes, 86 injuries and 1 fatality in 3 years

4. I-95/exits 14&15 Providence – 254 crashes, 87 injuries and 1 fatality in 3 years

3. I-95/exit 23  Providence – 98 crashes, 50 injuries and 2 fatalities in 3 years

2. I-95/exit 22 Providence – 347 crashes, 54 injuries and 2 fatalities in 3 years

1. I-95/exit 20 Providence – 217 crashes, 90 injuries and 2 fatalities in 3 years

“If you are driving on any of these interchanges and intersections in Rhode Island, don’t drive distracted,” said the veteran Rhode Island personal injury attorney.  “By planning your exits well in advance, you can diminish last second maneuvers, which often lead to accidents.”

In recent years, Rhode Island has placed emphasis on preventing texting while driving.  Few will argue that mobile device usage increases the likelihood of a crash while driving these already dangerous stretches of highway.  As a result, the safety of both drivers and occupants are put at even greater risk.

“What most people don’t realize is that even seemingly small fender benders can turn into significant injuries,” said Landry. “With regards to driving in Rhode Island, I think former native Ben Franklin was onto something when he said, ‘an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure’ – and I urge all Rhode Island drivers to take precautions when driving on any of these dangerous interchanges.”
