No paramedics that I could see, but I asked a fireman if everyone was okay, and he said yes, thank God.

But what's up with that intersection??? Strange huh... Very large intersection with traffic lights and turn lights, so why so many accidents? There's nothing that blocks a drivers vision, no sharp turns, its straight road. So why 2 bad accidents in a few months??? Very strange and I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas. Do you think they should do a traffic study on this intersection? I do....

People in a hurry who then run a light because they see little traffic?? Cannot remember any distractions at this intersection either. No buffalo to look at or houses to check out.
