There are many reasons why accidents happen at these intersections, but the most common reasons are driving while impaired by alcohol or other intoxicants and distracted driving. Other factors include failure to use turn signals, speeding, and disobeying traffic laws.

Drivers must stay alert, follow traffic laws, and eliminate distractions to prevent accidents and fatalities at these dangerous intersections.
