Highway 45 and the Danger Facing Citronelle Drivers
Citronelle sits along US Highway 45, one of the most dangerous roads in Mobile County. The highway serves as a major corridor for traffic flowing between Mississippi and the Mobile area, and its two-lane configuration creates constant risk of head-on collisions. Local families have been calling for safety improvements for years after losing loved ones to crashes on this road.
The volume of out-of-state drivers unfamiliar with local conditions adds to the danger. Many of these drivers are passing through at highway speeds on a road that was not designed for the traffic it now carries. If you have been injured in an accident on Highway 45 or anywhere in Citronelle, you need an attorney who understands these specific dangers.
