Accident on Corner of Winchester and Waterloo - Fairfield County
The driver of the truck was taken to the hospital as a precaution and I believe he will be fine. The other driver was walking around so hopefully that means she is okay!
The irony of these pictures is that they were taken on October 3, 2009. This intersection is scheduled to be turned into a 4-Way stop on October 9th. Fairfield County placed the warning signs regarding the changeover over in the last several weeks, but traffic on Winchester Road still has the right-of-way presently. The driver on Waterloo Road had the stop sign, with the small sign reminder, that cross traffic DOES NOT stop. Regardless, she allegedly caused the accident. The vehicles ended up on the signposts! True irony don't you think? A major problem with this intersection is that Winchester and Waterloo cross at an angle. I always pull to the right and stop when I am travelling on Waterloo towards my home so I can look at traffic on Winchester coming towards me. It is an odd angle and you have to be very careful to look both ways. To other drivers not familiar with the streets, it would look to them like I was getting ready to turn right when in fact I am just trying to angle my vehicle so I can see both ways more clearly.
