Vehicle and Automobile Accidents
An unsafe intersection in Athens Township?
Here is a link to an article from the Morning Times in Sayre, Pennsylvania. The article covers the controversy of adding an EMTA "park and ride" parking lot at the intersection of Route 220 and Route 199.I know this intersection very well. It is a dangerous intersection given the fact that cars travel very fast either going onto the four lane portion of 220 or coming off of it.
What is being proposed is basically another intersection where vehicles and pull out onto Route 220, creating another hazard at an already dangerous spot in the road.
Here is just a sampling of the automobile accidents that have occurred in that location recently:
"A couple of years ago, that intersection was the scene of an accident involving a bus carrying students from the Athens Area School District. Just last week, an 83-year-old Athens man was sent to the hospital after his vehicle collided with an international beverage truck near that intersection.
In fact, the most recent accident that occurred at the intersection was reported earlier this week — Monday — when two Milan residents were sent to the hospital after a truck pulled out from Route 199 and collided with their vehicle, which was traveling north on Route 220.
The truck was traveling west on Route 199 and had stopped at the stop sign at the Route 220 intersection before pulling onto Route 220 and into the path of the other vehicle, said Athens Township Police."
