A red Jeep Grand Cherokee got
A red Jeep Grand Cherokee got t-boned on driver's side by a Dodge or Chrysler convertible.Ambulance,fly car,Sheriff and State Police were there when I went by-then I met a Stafford Fire Dept. truck a little up the road. That's a bad intersection-too many accidents there-I think people misjudge the speed of the vehicles on Rt.5.
That accident couldn't have
That accident couldn't have happened 5 minutes after I went through there. (west bound) And Bob, you're very right! People drive like idiots through there and sadly I often see dump trucks pulling out in front of cars in the exact location.Plus, I go through there every morning around 6:30 ~ even though it's dark out and deer are running people still tailgate me and speed past as soon as I merge to the right hand lane. Good news to hear the accident looks a lot worse than it is. Speedy recovery to the injured!
Yeah-people in a hurry-6
Yeah-people in a hurry-6 years ago we had just picked up rental car (van was in body shop-friend had backed into it)-wife was driving home w/my sons-a guy running late for work pulled out in front of her from Fargo Rd. - t-boned him-luckily,everyone walked away.Must be the dump trucks want to tear up Fargo Rd.now-Clipnock must be too rough for them now......kinda wonder when a serious accident will happen on Fargo Rd. w/ all the hills and blind driveways.
