I went through there a few minutes after it happened. I couldn't tell who hit who, but it was obvious they hit hard. The front of the van was destroyed and the driver's side front,panel and door of the SUV were totaled. Best wishes for a speedy recovery to all involved.
Bad intersection. Would be
Bad intersection. Would be interested in the number of accidents in the last 15 years. Not sure what happened in this accident, but most times you get someone on 63 who is turning left onto Townline Rd, then an impatient driver will go around them on the right but meanwhile there is another car also turning left from the other direction. I can not tell you the number of times I come to a stop behind a car that is waiting to make a left turn only to have some boob drive around all of us on the right side. I do believe that is not legal would love to see law inforcement monitor this intersection.
