SoMa Traffic Risks and City Crash Patterns
The second collision Sunday night at Folsom St and 13th St serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by dense urban intersections—especially in the South of Market (SoMa) district. With its mix of freeway access points, commercial activity, and heavy commuter traffic, this area has become a frequent site of injury crashes in recent years.
Nighttime accidents in particular are often associated with reduced visibility, driver fatigue, and elevated speeds on relatively open stretches. The Folsom corridor, which funnels traffic east toward downtown and west toward residential neighborhoods, demands constant attention from drivers navigating sudden merges, one-way streets, and pedestrian crossings.
Those injured in city crashes may face not only physical pain but also financial strain and emotional stress. Medical bills, missed work, and vehicle repairs can quickly add up. In some cases, victims may not realize the extent of their injuries until days after the crash—making follow-up care and thorough documentation especially important.
To prevent future incidents, ongoing awareness, driver education, and community infrastructure improvements remain critical. Intersections like Folsom and 13th continue to benefit from traffic-calming efforts, but driver attentiveness is still the most important line of defense.
