Johnston, RI – Serious Injury Crash on I-295 SB at Exit 9A

Johnston, RI (September 7, 2025) – A two-vehicle collision left at least one person seriously hurt on Sunday, September 7 in Johnston.

The crash happened shortly after 2:30 a.m. when two vehicles collided in the southbound lanes of I-295 near Exit 9A. The impact blocked the left and center lanes and caused one vehicle to spin out before coming to rest against a guardrail.

Emergency responders worked quickly to assist the victims. Paramedics treated those injured at the scene before transporting at least one person to a local hospital with serious injuries. Officials have not released the condition of the other occupants involved.

Officals from the Johnston State Police Department managed the crash site while investigators examined evidence and spoke with witnesses. Authorities are reviewing whether speed, distraction, or impaired driving contributed to the collision.

The investigation remains ongoing.

Our hearts are with the victims and their families as they recover from this crash.

Car Accidents in Rhode Island

Car accidents in Rhode Island remain a serious concern, with hundreds of crashes reported every year on highways such as I-295 and U.S. Route 6.

These collisions can cause life-changing injuries, particularly when high speeds are involved.

Many serious wrecks in Rhode Island are caused by dangerous driving behaviors, including:

• Distracted Driving: Looking at a phone or GPS for even a few seconds can cause a violent crash.

• Speeding: Driving above the limit reduces reaction time and worsens the severity of an impact.

• Impaired Driving: Alcohol and drug use continue to play a role in many collisions.

• Reckless Behavior: Tailgating, weaving through traffic, and failing to yield put lives at risk.

Victims of these crashes often face painful recoveries. Injuries such as broken bones, spinal damage, or traumatic brain injuries may require months of treatment. Medical bills add up quickly, especially if the injured person cannot work. Families are left struggling with both financial and emotional burdens.

Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts after a crash. A skilled Rhode Island car accident lawyer can protect your rights, investigate the crash, and fight for fair compensation. Victims may be entitled to payment for medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term care needs. Having a lawyer ensures that families can focus on recovery instead of legal battles.
