While the city is improving with taxes, the quality of driving is still on a decline.
At 21:25, on the 15th November 2024, two vehicles had an accident on the corner of Alameda Street where it joins Idlewood Motel.
The accident was between a Subaru Forester and a Volvo S60, with both vehicles being severely damaged as a result.
The corner has been a common spot for accidents in the past, however nothing has been done to prevent further incidents. No slow down signs, no caution signs, nothing. While the corner remains blind by the wall and sharp turn, accidents will continue to occur.
Who Was At Fault?
While the person responsible wasn’t clear, it seems the somebody had cut the corner, causing the accident. With both parties being investigated by the LSPD, it appears a job for the insurance.
Overall, both vehicles became severely damaged. Luckily both drivers remain uninjured and in a good position. With a vehicle the size of a Subaru Forester involved, they are lucky that it wasn’t much worse.
Also, a stop sign is present on the rail crossing. It seems this sign wasn’t acknowledged as it should’ve been, which is designed to prevent such accidents and speed, especially in the corner.
What Needs To Happen?
Signs need to be installed on the corner as a priority. The corner along with the rail line crossing are a common spot for dangerous driving and accidents. This won’t change unless somebody makes a difference.
However, Alameda Street as a whole is a common place for car accidents. With several accidents occurring near the Idlewood Gas Station.
