CLAYTON – A three vehicle accident caused major traffic delays for motorists on Buffalo Road, Tuesday afternoon.
The accident happened at the intersection of Buffalo Road and Fire Department Road. A tanker, box truck, and passenger car were involved.
Reports indicate the white box truck was turning left on Buffalo Road when it collided with a northbound passenger car on Fire Department Road. A piece of debris from the box truck detached and was thrown into the path of a loaded LP tanker approaching the stop sign, flattening the left front tire.
No injuries were reported but heavy traffic delays were reported for approximately two hours until the scene could be cleared. Wilson’s Mills Police assisted the Wilson’s Mills Fire Department with traffic control while the Highway Patrol investigated the accident.
I guess the powers that be won’t consider a light there until one of their family members, or they, get into a wreck and seriously injured or worse.
This is where they definitely need a stop light. With the volume of traffic there now & number of accidents they have had I truly do not understand why something hasn’t been done. You literally take your life in your hands in the early morning & afternoon.
Put a stop light in! This is a very congested intersection now. Unfortunately like someone else said, someone will likely die before they make a change.
