4:24 PM: Avoid Highland Park Way east of West Marginal for a while. As shown in the traffic-camera screenshot above, there are crashes on both sides of the street near 2nd SW – the eastbound one involves a school bus, but officers have told dispatch there were no children on board. No serious injuries reported in either crash.
4:51 PM: The eastbound crash has cleared and the live-camera view shows the westbound one should clear soon, with a tow truck on scene.
Y’all, driving is crazy dangerous. People out here costing themselves and others thousands of dollars in damages and getting injured everyday. A good time to remind everyone that taking public transit is by far the safer option. I highly recommend you avoid the dangers of driving at all cost and take public transit instead.
I’m for people taking public transit, but I’m not sure this logic adds up. There is even a bus involved in one of the accidents from this story. And I’ve seen injuries on the bus (people falling out of their seat during hard braking. Required an ambulance. There are no seatbelts on buses)So. Take transit. But I wouldn’t describe it as safer than driving. Possibly less safe due to lack of seatbelts.
