please explain to me how this continually happens? what makes this site a bermuda triangle? which direction are cars traveling when most of these accidents occur?

Last week when there was an accident at the same intersection I said "what do you expect at that intersection?" The point I was trying to make is that intersection has been the scene of many, many accidents the past 20 years including many fatalities - including my friend Sam Vincent.

Someone responded to my post claiming its not the intersection it was "drivers who were not thinking". Sureeeeeee. Here we go again and many still think there is nothing wrong with that intersection. Its the amount of traffic and configuration that contributes to these accidents and the sooner there is a light, the better.

I find it astounding that this same accident keeps happening! This is NOT a difficult to navigate intersection! NB Sixty Foot drives into the path of WB 50 over and over again.

Unreal.

Even at 2 in the morning, with barely any traffic. Jinxed intersection.

I go by there many times each week & don't see a problem with that intersection.Bear in mind that as technology has advanced inattentive driving accidents have increased.No change in intersection configuration can fix that.A federal law needs to be enacted immediately to NOT suppress cell phone records in any court case involving a vehicular accident.That would apply in all 50 states and any effort to suppress would be a mute point.

People are stupid and careless.

And why is there still no stoplight here? At least that would force people to STOP and LOOK before crossing.
