SpaceGhost Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 We go to Costco there every week, and I always leave via the traffic light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismopc Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 That is right in front of the Church At Polaris and Rave Movie Theater. The Church has asked for lights at that intersection for years. Always gets pushed down. Hopefully this sheds light on the situation. There are accidents at that intersection all of the time.

Mallard Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Wow, that is basically why I've always worn a seatbelt, no need to risk your life by not wearing one. Seatbelt's don't do a whole lot in a side impact (but they're always useful). A lot of people die in side impact crashes because their head actually goes out the window and strikes the door or the front end of the other car. That's why curtain bags and thorax bags are so important. Also, a 35 mph side impact is nothing to laugh at. It's a serious accident.

SpaceGhost Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 From the dispatch: By Theodore Decker Story posted 04.30.2013 at 04:13 PM EDT Columbus police have cleared the scene of a two-car crash near Polaris Fashion Place that killed one man and left two other people injured this morning. Sgt. Brooke Wilson of the accident-investigation squad said the man who died in the 9:57 a.m. crash had pulled out from Carylake Circle onto Gemini Place when his blue car collided with a white car heading west on Gemini. The driver of the blue car died at Riverside Methodist Hospital at 11:31 a.m. His passenger was taken to the hospital in critical condition, and the driver of the white car was taken there in stable condition, Wilson said. Police were not releasing the victims' names until their families could be notified. The crash closed parts of Gemini Place between Lyra Drive and Polaris Parkway for about five hours, although access to the mall was maintained throughout the day.

Smokey Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I think the light is less of an issue there than the rampant speeding on that road. Most people are doing 10 over regularly through there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people are doing 10 over regularly through there. I think a light would help with people speeding through there, because there is a chance they would have to stop.

ImUrOBGYN Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Clearly the white WRX T-boned the Gray Impreza. Looks to me the Gray Impreza pulled out in front of the WRX (which was most likely speeding). Some of the damage to the Gray Impreza is where they cut away the b pillar to get people out. I've wrecked a few of these, :whistle: It doesn't take much to crumple the front of a WRX, it's designed to do that. You see? Didn't I tell you in another thread you started a Jinx?! Luckily, it ended up being another Subie driver and not you. Jinx complete. You're safe now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I think a light would help with people speeding through there, because there is a chance they would have to stop. Quite possible. Or more wrecks from people trying to speed up and make the light. I'm sure overall it'd help though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harmonda Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I go through there daily. 55+ is normal during rush. All the side roads and ramps should be no-left-turn IMHO. Maybe they should put a median so people can't turn left. This is going to keep happening unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
