lived on jacks branch 20 years .road not good but all accidents not road flauts.drivers control vehiles not road.as for widening well be good not the cure .its only goneing to make the speeders go faster drivers need to pay ation to whats going on arond them .
My thoughts an prayers go up for your family. My son and his family used to live on Annie Bell. I hated leaving his house to turn north onto Jacks Branch because its a blind turn either way. Hope they can fix it.
Sorry for the families loss!
Jacks Branch is a very dangerous road even when you are being very careful. I don’t know if widening is even the solution. It’s such a treacherous road. I live on it!
I to knew Johnny (Brookes dad)(hoping all is well with you.) and was heartbroken over his accident. I wish they would do something to fix the problem & maybe we would not have any more fatalities on that stretch! In the meantime everyone needs to be very cautious… for the other drivers as well!!!
My thoughts and prayers are with the family, my dad also passed away from a wreck on jacks branch at green tree in March. I’m so sorry for you loss and wish this road would be widened to accomodate vehiles especially trucks. May God bring peace to your broken hearts.
