The distracted driver was either on cell phone, or trying to find a good radio station, or looking for papers in the front or back seat.
Hey you can’t park there !!!!
I did not see another car or truck 1 car wreck
I have been living right there on Kingsville Road since 1976 and not once have I ever had an issue with the bridge
Yes, the bridge is the same width as it has been all along.
But today’s SUVs & giant “look at me” pickup trucks are huge. They can’t fit in regular parking spaces and routinely hang over the centerline.
And if they are lowered in the rear for that ridiculous “Carolina Squat,” they can’t even see the road in front of them….
It is really hard to believe that so many people get on here to be judgmental. Clearly this was an accident, meaning the individual didn’t mean for it to happen. Surely you have all had accidents…give the person some grace.
The Bridge is narrower at that Point of the Roadway. Try driving in a straight line with the road’s with and when you get to the Bridge, if you keep straight, you’ll hit the Bridge also. It’s a area that needs to be addressed, but it will cost to much money to widen the Bridge to the With of the Roadway.
I agree with E, so narrow male it wider and add a traffic light at each with a crossover walk for pedestrians.
Driving is a privilege not a right. If you can’t or won’t obey the laws, stay off the road.
Wow, that takes real skill to achieve that. Hand in your license please.
There’s nothing wrong with this bridge, put your phone down and drive the speed limit.
Of course t’s not the bridge’s fault, but we have to share the road with other drivers and sometimes they need a little help with wider bridges, traffic signals, etc. Not to mention all the school buses from the three schools on this section of road.
An “aggressive” guardrail? What does that mean?
the bridge is the exact same width it has been all along. The problem with the bridge is NOT the bridge, it’s the people who aren’t paying attention to what they’re doing which is the JOB of driving! Hundreds of people a day cross this same bridge with no difficulty at all, but then the few who hit it blame it on the bridge. What, did the bridge mysteriously reach out and snag your car? Nope, and as far as an “aggressive guardrail goes”, it’s never growled at me a single time in all of my passing through there. I’d say the guardrail is more “passive”. Maybe a stop light will help, seems like that’s the magical cure for every OTHER accident in the area.
I feel like this was a long time coming. That bridge is so narrow and the guardrail so aggressive. Anyone who’s gone across while a cement / garage truck was knows how it is.
Distracted driving, slow down and pay attention.
Wonder why everyone’s auto insurance keeps going up, take a look.
