Wednesday morning collision is 3rd at the intersection since Columbia Western Bypass opened at 3:00pmCT, October 9, 2008, just three months ago. Links below. -CM
UPDATE at 5:02pmCT, January 14, 2009: Chief Mark Harris of the Columbia Police Department says this is the fourth accident at the intersection. "We've worked three," he said, "and today we called in the Kentucky State Police because they have reconstructionist and because we thought they had resources to handle the accident. Chief Harris said that after the 3rd accident, he, Mayor Patrick R. Bell, and a representative of the Somerset office of the Kentucky Highway Department visited the site and the KHD subsequently put in rumble strips to warn KY 439 and KY 61 traffic of the stop. "Today's crash is the first since the rumble strips," he said, "but I think the State needs to put a caution light or even a four way traffic light in there."
