Bailey’s Prairie lies along SH 35 and FM 521 between Angleton and West Columbia. A drive that seems routine can change in seconds, and after a collision or hard jolt, someone may initially feel mostly okay before increasing pain, stiffness, or a headache makes the injury harder to dismiss.
One of the traps after an injury is judging it only by how dramatic the moment looked. What happened, what part of the body was involved, and whether symptoms are worsening or affecting movement can all matter. At Angleton ER, we can examine the injury and use imaging or other testing when medically appropriate to help determine what care is needed.
If symptoms are life-threatening or it is not safe to drive, call 911.
