I heard a report today that there was a pretty bad accident (Careflight needed) on 380 near the Sheriff's Office.
If you have seen the new road layout due to the 380 construction, you know the problem: If you want to leave eastbound 380 and take business 380 (that leads you up to McDonalds), you have to make a hard right hand turn off of the highway. You can't make that turn unless you slow down to less than 10 mph and there is no protected right turn lane. The result: You have to look in your rearview mirror to see if some 18 wheeler is coming up behind you at a high rate of speed.
It's a death trap. (Photo is not of the actual wreck).
