CRASH AT LORD'S BAPTIST CHURCH IS 7TH ON FLEMING IN 2005

We were awakened by the sound of screeching tires and crunching steel on Fleming Avenue. It was another crash. This one happened at the driveway to The Lord's Baptist Church, at the exact spot where Braddock and Logan plan to put a new street to access the development of 18 homes. Fortunately, no one was injured. But the driver told me he was trying to pull out of the church parking lot to turn onto Fleming when he was struck by a fast-moving pickup. There were wet and foggy conditions at the time. This goes to show how dangerous Fleming has become with too much traffic and too much speed. It also demonstrates what we have been saying all along, that Fleming is too dangerous and too narrow with the traffic it has now, and to add to it at this critical spot, is insane. This is a reminder as to why we are fighting this development. Next time, could it be one of us?
UPDATE: CHP traffic records show this was the 7th vehicle collision on Fleming Avenue in 2005, and the 3rd collision of the year at the intersection of Fleming and Fleming Court!
