That's a dangerous intersection, I went through it today about 4 times, always look in each direction a couple of times before pulling out. God be with the family of this person.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't at the intersection. It was about a half mile off Nanticoke Road.
ReplyDeleteIt is a dangerous intersection it's a shame someone had to die before something is done about it.
ReplyDeleteAny word on more details? None of the MSM outlets are covering it.
ReplyDeleteNone of the MSM was allowed near it due to the fatality. A press release will be available soon. It was just a single vehicle with a single occupant that passed. No word on if speed, alcohol, or medical issue was a factor. The road has now been cleared and reopened.
ReplyDeleteI live on Rockawalkin Rd-this is very sad. However people do travel over the posted 40 miles per hour on this road.
ReplyDeleteMany of the intersections on Nanticoke Rd are dangerous! I live in this area and see numerous accidents every month. With the amount of traffic, neighborhood entrances & intersections there really needs to be at least one traffic light somewhere in that area to slow people down & help with the chaos!! I rode by this area on Rockawalkin last night and wondered if an accident was the reason for the road block. Thanks Joe for keeping us informed. My thoughts to the family....
ReplyDeleteExtremely dangerous curve - we live hear and there are always accident here. I think this is the first time someone has died. So sad! I hope people slow down a little now.
ReplyDeleteany information on who the peerson was? Someone local? What a sad christmas there family will have. My deepest sympathy
ReplyDeleteThe curve is not "dangerous" if you take it at a reasonable speed. It is fine at the posted speed of 40 mph, just not 60 mph.
