I got caught up in the traffic. Both sides were closed off. I was coming south and they diverted us on to Old Field Ln and came back out to 4 on Main St where the Mr. Tire is, where the NB side was closed off. I got there just after the chopper landed.

I really wish I understood what is so hard about driving through that section of road that is causing so many accidents. I think there have been 4 or 5 in the past year.

All four left turn arrows have even been put up now, so there is no guessing or turning in front of someone. People on both sides tend to use the 3rd merge/right turn only lane to speed up and get in front of as many as possible. I notice people travel faster on that stretch between Rt. 231 and Old Field/Sherry. I will be interested to know how the accident happened. Maybe someone ran the red light. I heard a helicopter flying nearby for quite a long time, and couldn't see it, so turned on the scanner and heard about the accident.

If thats so, the safest bet is a failure to yield.

Vehicle crossed the median in the area of the rescue squad and hit a vehicle head on. It wasn't at the intersection of Old Field and 4. It could have been a medical emergency that made the vehicle cross the median. I guess we will find out when more details follow.

Thanks. Yes, I missed the word 'near'. I hope all involved will be ok.

I got caught in that mess yesterday. It happened right in front of the church. I was stopped right in front of the rescue station going SB. They had lanes blocked and the helo landed right in front of me in the median. Waited about an hour until they started letting traffic go in the SB lanes. Looked really bad when I passed the accident. Heard one victim was a 60 year old woman. Alert but had facial trauma. Not sure how accurate that is.

There is another terrible accident SB Rt 4 at Northwest Rd. Lanes were closed as of 4am. I haven't gotten an alert saying they were openned yet.

Went by it around 5:15 and it looked like it was still closed off. Couldn't tell what happened; it was too dark. Looked like a couple of SUVs facing the wrong direction.
