MASON CITY – A Rockford woman was cited in a two-car crash Monday in Mason City that hurt one person.
Mason City police tell NIT the crash happened at 4:44 PM at the intersection of Pierce Avenue and 15th Street SW. Jacob Anderson of Mason City was in a Jeep Cherokee, and Nancy Miller of Rockford was in a Buick Encore.
Anderson’s Jeep Cherokee sustained $5,000 estimated damage and Miller’s Buick Encore had $2,000 estimated damage. Miller was cited for Failure to Obey Stop Sign and Yield Right-of-way.
One person was transported to the hospital on a complaint of pain.
All four stop signs are visible from at least 200 ft. Which gives any driver enough time/distance to stop safely, if, they are going the speed limit, and paying attention while driving.
Traffic cams would be nice..
I travel that road alot myself,vehicles drive down that road faster than necessary i always wait to make sure they stop at the stop signs before i go myself,seen a few dead geese or ducks down there also run over by speeders
You don’t need to be speeding on that road to kill a goose. There are too many of those city rats here already.
I watch people run this stop sign, from my office window, atleast 5 times a day. Semi’s run it at 40 mph. There needs to be a flashing stop light/sign.
People need to wake up. We can’t put flashing lights on every stop sign cause folks won’t look up from their phones.
no. we don’t need MORE things. we need make sure people are paying attention to the FOUR large red signs with STOP printed on them. An officer parked there writing tickets for a few hours on random days would probably improve the situation. Although people will probably start showing up on whiners den bitching about how they got a ticket for not following the law.
Right…..This has been happening for 20 years. What was the excuse before smart phones came out? The inside lanes don’t always see the stop sign on the outside lane…….Just Saying.
