No priority 4's is a relief. Sending good vibes to those hurt for quick recovery... If all drivers on these 2 roads increase their awareness & slow down accidents will decrease and it will cost nothing. Pretty simple.

I talked to my neighbor a bit ago and they said the priority 1 patient was a child and they were taken to John Hopkins.

The priority 1 was not the child. Just clarifying.

Does anyone know the cause? Was ice a factor?

Have driven through that way many times; nothing dangerous about that intersection if you stop & look. Can't say how many times I've seen people barely slow down, let alone stop. Don't know the details in this case, hope everyone pulls through OK. Any updates on this @ all?
