@ Chris, you are exactly correct. Getting to the intersection to watch for oncoming traffic on 95A – you are in the road. Maybe the right person will read this and do something about it. The least thing they can do is put up a solar street light. I choose to not be on that side street.
Prayers out to everyone involved.
That particular intersection is very sketchy. Turning right onto 95A from the road Tom Thimb is on always puts your front end into oncoming traffic. Hope everyone recovers quickly.
