@Sheila – Coming home from church yesterday, we had to do just that! Car passing a long line of cars and we came up over a hill and the passing car was in our lane! We had to slow down and get on the shoulder to avoid a head on collision. Crazy!! It’s not the road, it’s definitely the people.
People always in a hurry and not paying full attention. Also, Hwy 97 is a cut through to 65 and to the casino. I live off this road and have to be on top alert when driving and be prepared to manuver to avoid a wreck. Praying daily for self and others.
Roads harm and kill a hundreds of people each year. Maybe they should be outlawed
for public safety. Just sayin’!
First of all…I’m glad everyone in this accident are ok. Once again we are reading about another collision on 97. It’s hard to blame a piece/stretch of Highway causing these accidents. Yes, I’ve witnessed “distracted” drivers many times going to and from my hunting club. I’ve witnessed those thinking they are on a marathon race traveling at high speeds and passing everyone in front of them…I too avoid this road at all cost. Yes, speed and distraction are the two top reasons this road has so many news worthy accidents. Could the FHP and/or ECSD patrol more? Yes but we all know those resources are stretched thin enough already plus, people know a deputy/trooper are there and they act right…I’ve seen them and done it so have you. This all falls on US to slow down…put those phones down and drive like WE have sense. I hate to say the following but someone reading this article can very well be in the next accident thinking it will never happen to them…I pray I’m wrong. Can’t blame the road just because it’s there…that stretch of Highway has been there a lot longer than some of its drivers have been alive. People, slow down and put those phones down and we can all see another day…I sure like living on the green side of the grass…do you?
Have a BLESSED day and drive safely please.
Deborah,
Looks like a Camero
I once had a road run out in front of me…it was one of those dangerous roads.
Have to watch them as they sometimes they disguise themselves as a safe road.
You just cant trust them.
It’s people who drive these vehicles!!! Not the roads fault in anyway!!!! People need to slow down be more attentive to the roads stay off cellphones and pay attention to the other drivers as well !!! Put blame where blame is due on the people driving!!!!!
@charlotte Rebecca Bates it is both like you said but it really is a very dangerous road.i hate 97 and avoid it bc of that and I also know people need to pay good attention on 97 but my opinion is they need to study and fix WHATEVER it is about that road….
I would like to know what kind of car that is..To make it out alive is I incredible
Please don’t say how dangerous this road is. It’s not the road. It’s the drivers, rather it be a medical condition, not paying attention, or an animal jumped out. Just glad no one was seriously hurt.
