One of the worse intersections in St. Mary’s due the state highway planning.
there is a wreck almost every week at this location. I notice that the Channey concrete trucks are very careful. I use the this intersection every day.
I got caught in that mess this morning, so I wonder who’s at fault? Of course, with the incredible media down there, we’ll never hear who it was.
One of them was probably flying down 235 and the other one didn’t wait for the intersection to be cleared. Just because your light is green doesn’t mean it’s safe to proceed. And it’s not like either driver had trouble seeing the other.
I’ve always said that the traffic light there is the most useless and least needed one! That intersection is very flat and has plenty of visibility in all directions. I believe the traffic light is the cause of more crashes because people are tired of waiting for it to change…
The dump truck driver ran the light and is totally at fault. Cop had video to prove it.
I too was caught up in that heading to work. I think they could have figured a better plan on just u turning us there. Traffic would have moved better being redirected further west in my opinion.
I agree. Drove northbound and saw southbound cars directed north. But then, Mervell DeanRd was backed up past Tractor Supply. There should have been a better attempt to guide the traffic re-directed north.
