Heavy Crash Impact on a Busy Suburban Corridor
Although Union Park Avenue isn’t an interstate, it’s one of the busiest roads in Midvale, particularly during rush hour. A crash on this type of road can cause major disruption and real harm. The force of the collision often leads to injuries such as whiplash, concussions, or even fractures, especially when traffic is heavy or speed is a factor.
Injured individuals often face a long road to recovery. Beyond the physical toll, there are the financial and emotional effects, ambulance bills, hospital stays, missed work, stress, and trauma. These burdens can be overwhelming, particularly for families dealing with the shock of an unexpected crash.
