I live in the hwy 29-97 area and there is no reason wreaks can not be avoided.Driving means keeping your mind on driving and your head on your shoulders not up your — – - -

@CD- I grew up in the area and still live here and the ‘police’ cars have dropped drastically this year. However, there are FHP cars in the area. I see them far more than ECSO cars. This being said, this intersection is not bad or the cause of these wrecks. ou can see from all directions…..if only people would look, stop @ the stop sign(s) and do the speed limit which is 55 BEFORE you ever get there.
@ps – Ditto! you are correct and it is just not your observation. You used see 3-4 at Mrs. Fran’s and you do not see that anymore. Where have they gone is what I would like to know….BUT, there are 2 every now and again at the McDavid Mini Mart. One of them owns the store. Mainly the 2 Suburbans in the area…see more in Century this past month than I ever have. Maybe that is where they have gone.

There are always police in Molino. You can’t sit here and tell me there aren’t. You have to be a little more observant. That road was just widened by putting the turning lanes in. If you live on the main drag then you should expect to turn around in your driveway. 95A is AN Alternate Highway people. Highways are made for people to go a little faster, and I’m not talking about speeding. That intersection is fine. How many wrecks have been at that intersection in that last few years compared to 9 1/2 mile & 29 or other places??? Why would you just want to keep adding redlights to highway 29 where the speed is 55 or 65. So we can pay for them to be put up. No one was hurt too bad, and it was an accident just like the story says. Accidents happen we are only human.

Im familiar with the intersection and the surrounding area….Its real simple not to get in a wreck, but one lapse in judgement, it becomes very easy.

Keep your eyes on the road and your mind clear….you are not likely to get in a wreck.

Lived here all my life , you dont need a light you just need to slow down and pay attention, there is more traffic with the casino and such but a light will get more killed, you would have to redo the entire intersection so people could get onto Crabtree Church Rd. No amount of lights will stop humans from making mistakes.

THEY DONT CALL THE HELICOPTER UNLESS IT IS VERY SERIOUS AND THEY CAN GET THE PATIENT TO THE HOSPITAL QUICKER THAN AMBULANCE, I HAVE NEVER SEEN LIFEFLIGHT TO A SCEEN THAT WAS NOT SERIOUS AND I HAVE BEEN A NURSE FOR 18YRS. THANK GOD FOR OUR EMERGENCY TEAM, YOU GUYS GO THROUGH IT ALL !! THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS FOR ALL INVOLVED !

I live on 95a in Molino and I agree with some of the other comments about how bad traffic is on this road. We also have to turn around in our yard in order to go out, because of the traffic. Between the log trucks, cement trucks, and dump trucks as well as regular traffic, everyone is speeding. My aunt was killed in front of her house at the head of her driveway (she was a pedestrian) by someone speeding and not paying attention, but our FHP made their report to look like she walked in front of the car. The girl was not charged for killing my aunt, she didn’t even get a traffic ticket. Now anyone that lives in the Molino area anywhere along 95A knows not to walk in the road, but the report said that my aunt’s death was her fault. Go Figure. They do need to do something about these roads to make them safer especially at night. There are some areas of 95A that are pitch black at night. I suggest putting reflectors on the road and to remark the road to make it more visible.
Just needed to vent.

i live in Molino and travel from here to pcola several times a week, i pass thru Molino at 11pm at night headed home. In the 3 years i have lived here, i have only seen 2 police cars in the area looking for speeders. On my way home people are passing me and i am going 65, they are way above that…. and often i think to myself
“wish the police would be around to see all this speeding”. but no, they are not around Molino-they are in Cantonment… there are plenty there by Muskogee Rd looking for speeders. Not only do people go way above the speed limit thru Molino, they are all over the road because they are either intoxicated or on their cell phones. I wish someone could tell us why there are no police in Molino that actually sit and watch for speeders-
Really sad

Just because Life Flight was there doesn’t mean that it was bad. They use it instead of an ambulance these days.
