A serious traffic accident at the intersection of North Oriole Boulevard and Jog Road January 26, 2026 has reignited concerns among Delray Beach residents who say crashes at this location are becoming far too common. 

My name is David Zappitell and as a Delray Beach car accident lawyer with over 30 years experience who sees serious injury cases in this area every day, I have to say, another wreck in this area is part of an alarming trend that the city should be concerned about.

Witnesses reported seeing police and a tow truck at the scene, describing the collision as severe. While the extent of injuries has not been publicly confirmed, neighbors expressed hope that everyone involved was able to walk away safely.

The intersection serves as a primary access point for Huntington Lakes and Huntington Pointe, two large residential communities whose residents say navigating this crossing has become increasingly dangerous.

“Too Many Accidents”: Residents Point to Design Flaws, Not Just Driver Error

In online discussions following the crash, drivers described a familiar and troubling pattern: vehicles exiting residential communities like the Villages of Oriole often assume oncoming cars are turning, only to discover too late that they are continuing straight through the intersection.

While many emphasized the importance of using turn signals, others stressed that road design and visibility issues play a major role. Common complaints include:

• Blocked sightlines caused by roadside utility and equipment enclosures
• Left-turn conflicts occur when multiple vehicles queue simultaneously
• Right turns on red into fast-moving Jog Road traffic
• Limited use of protected turn signals or red arrows

On NextDoor.com, several residents commenting on this crash called for a full traffic safety evaluation, noting that even cautious drivers can struggle to judge traffic flow at this intersection.
