Northbound Rt 5 @ Briantown Road

[huntr1]

How do you get struck by a vehicle, honestly? It's 5:30 a.m., dark and you can (1) see a vehicle coming your direction and (2) hear it. I really just don't understand, unless of course the vehicle swerved onto the median or something.

Drunk?

Maybe you're paying attention to the work you're doing and hoping the vests, signs an lights will prevent idiots from running you down.

The MSP estimates the road will be reopened in about 1/2 an hour.

Thanks for the update!

Which goes back to my statement about the car going outside the line.

People have a tendency to drive where they're looking. That's why they slam into tucks, cops, etc on the side of the road.
They drive it into you head in driving classes to look where you want to go. In motorcycle driving classes, looking down is a big

I think there is a sign, clearly marking that area it is as work zone and to slow your arse down. In fact, I'd bet my paycheck on it. I saw it yesterday. At 5:00 a.m., that place is like Potomac Speedway.

The biggest reason cops get struck by cars is idiots stear towards the lights, rubber necking.

That like a 1 foot drive isn't it? Shouldn't take long.

I have a feeling she was asking about traffic at that intersection, not the time it takes to make the turn off 5 onto 231.

But you have to admit it was funny.

I read it the way I stated the first time I read it. Guess I need to take the funny bone in for a checkup. :shrug:

GREAT, ANOTHER drunk driver before 6am.

It was a drunk driver that caused the big accident in Brandywine a few months ago too.

Are you trying to say that this mornings accident was a drunk and they hit the two brothers of a co-worker of yours?

Notice how Stang always knows all about the accidents, regardless of county...

BTW, how does the report go from construction worker to family?

A drunk driver hit the car that had my co-workers 2 brothers and nephew in it. The co-worker called this morning at 6:30 and said he was at the hospital and told us the story. When he called they were still in surgery, he has not called back yet but when he does I will keep you all up dated.

That's what you get when you are getting married to a Fire Fighter... and have a scanner at work.

 

[Stang Girl]

It must be a different accident he called and talked to me and said a drunk driver hit them. But he left a message on the answering machine at 4:40 this morning and he called at 6:30 when he new someone would be in the office.

I'm pretty sure that accident happened at 5:30, not 6:30.

I wonder if they were struck by one of their own construction vehicles.

Also, scanner says Rt. 5 just reopened.

Definately 5:30 'cause I was just pulling into WaWa to fill up when it came over the traffic report at 5:35 & again at 5:38. Besides, I was at work in Silver Spring at 6:35.
