I heard on red fm traffic just after 5 it was a car crash,
they didnt say anything else but it must have been serious enough if the guards turned up!

person was knocked down

Its a fecking deadly piece of road there. Cars park fort he centra, then try to back out on the turn. There are 2 sets of traffic lights very close to each other and unless you know the lay of the land you could easily walk out on the road seeing a red traffic light, when in fact that is the next one along.

Not to mention cars are always switching lanes wily nilly.

Surprised there are not more accidents there tbh.

I often thought how did they get planning for the centra and the carpark where they have to back out onto a busy road.

Agreed, deadly spot there. Centra isn't there anymore now though, some new place opened - diner or something so maybe won't be as busy with people making pit stops to pick up a few things like before.

Yes. I mentioned this to my husband who says the same thing. I hate driving that way. People seem to lose all reason when driving there. Only a couple of weeks ago, someone backed out of the Centra (forgetting it's illegal to back on to a main road.:rolleyes:), and nearly hit me. Had to swerve to get out of the way - luckily there was no traffic in the other lane.

It's a diner and liquor store now I think.

Liquor was the only thing Centra sold anyway

Apparently Brendan Kilkenny was spotted doing scissors kicks in the area.
