Sadly, many accidents occur often on roads throughout Hillsborough County. Lately, if you have followed the Nicoletti Law Firm on Facebook, you have seen that we have put out a post each morning to notify you of some of the accidents that have occurred during your morning commute. Due to the amount of traffic on the roads in the morning, it is not surprising that many accidents occur during those early hours. However, vehicle accidents can still occur at any time of the day.
A list of the 10 intersections in Hillsborough County that can be considered the most dangerous was recently released. We wanted to share this list, so you can take extra precaution if you take these roads during your commute. After all, we want you to be safe during your travels.
| # | Intersection | Crashes * |
| 1 | Sheldon Rd / Waters Ave W (Town 'N' Country) | 107 |
| 2 | Anderson Rd / Waters Ave W (Town 'N' Country) | 103 |
| 3 | Waters Ave W / Hanley Rd (Town 'N' Country) | 98 |
| 4 | Hillsborough Ave W / Sheldon Rd (Town 'N' Country) | 96 |
| 5 | 301 HW S / Gibsonton Dr (Riverview) | 95 |
| 6 | Waters Ave / Himes Ave N (Tampa) | 89 |
| 7 | 301 HW S / Big Bend Rd (Riverview) | 86 |
| 8 | Bruce B Downs Bl / Fletcher Ave E (Tampa) | 84 |
| 9 | Bloomingdale Av / Bell Shoals Rd (Brandon) | 82 |
| 10 | Bloomingdale Ave / Providence Rd (Brandon) | 81 |
*Crashes occurred between May 1, 2017 and August 31, 2018.
This list was released by a group known as “All For Transportation.” The reason for all of these accidents is not exactly clear. Some believe that it could be the population growth of Hillsborough County while others believe it could be that roads are unsafe. It could also be because of texting and driving or distracted drivers. While the answer is not clear, it is clear that you should be sure to pay attention and drive defensively when traveling on these roads.
