Highway 380: Problems, solutions for future safety

by | Apr 14, 2017 | Latest

A rollover accident with entrapment occurred in front of Walmart April 3 making it the latest of a long line of wrecks on Hwy. 380. There have been 49 wrecks on Hwy. 380 in the Princeton area since January. Courtesy photo.

The hurried pace of lives today often impacts driving behavior and it impacts the rate of accidents.

Vehicles speed down Hwy. 380, talking, texting, making unsafe lane changes, all so they might get where they are going on time, or perhaps thinking they might beat traffic.

Then it happens, yet another wreck. Traffic snarls, lanes shut down, emergency vehicles respond to the call and lives are affected.

An interactive map of wrecks from Jan. 1 through April 6 along Hwy. 380 is featured below.
