Avoid Distracted Driving on Kansas Highways; Four Injured in Topeka, KS. Roadside Auto Crash

In Topeka, Kansas, a three vehicle crash sent four people to hospitals with serious but non-life threatening injuries early Monday morning.  The accident happened at the intersection of U.S. Highway 75 and NW 46th street when one vehicle stopped to help another motorist with a mechanical problem.  A third vehicle entering the highway apparently did not see the road side motorists and collided with one of the vehicles, crashing it into the other.  It was unknown if the slick roads were cause for the Kansas auto accident.

At Roswold Law Group in Kansas City, Missouri, we've seen enough serious injury accidents over the years to know that roadside collisions are becoming more and more common.  In Kansas City inparticular, U.S. 71 highway has become very dangerous.  Over the summer, Kansas City saw roadside accidents on I-70 as well.

Our Kansas City Auto Accident and Injury Attorneys hope the victim of this accident recovers from injury and know a long road is head for them.  We hope in the future, all motorists practice safe and attentive driving techniques not only when you're on the highway or just entering the highway on the ramp.  This can be an especially dangerous time as any motorists parked on the road side aren't watching out for those getting on the highway anymore.  Drivers entering the highway are usually looking out for cars on the highway already.  It's easy to mistake cars on the side of the road as stranded if we're not playing full attention.

 

All Kansas City drivers are encouraged to respect other motorists on the road and to slow down to avoid accidents when cars and motorists are on the road side.  We hope everyone is practicing safe and attentive driving techniques and avoiding dangerous driving habits such as distracted driving.

 

If you're involved in an accident late at night or need to pull over for any reason, it helps to turn on your haaard lights in order to send a message to other drivers they should watch out for you.
