Drive Defensively on Rural Roads to Stay Safe

Accidents on rural highways like River Road can happen quickly, especially during early morning hours when visibility is low and driver fatigue may be a factor. Drivers are urged to stay alert, reduce speed around curves, and avoid distractions. Even on less congested roads, exercising caution and maintaining safe distances can significantly reduce the risk of collisions. Being mindful of changing conditions—like fog, wildlife crossings, or debris—can make all the difference in arriving safely.
