The most dangerous intersection in Lexington
Drivers in Lexington are just about the worst I've ever seen. It doesn't help that I live on the corner of the most dangerous intersection in town. I just witnessed someone in an SUV hit someone on a moped. Everyone is fine, but this just goes to show in a more light hearted way, that this is the most dangerous intersection in Lexington.
I live on the corner of three streets. My parking lot is on the corner of Main and Woodland, and my building is on the corner of Maxwell and Woodland. Main and Maxwell merge on the other side of my block, and there are small shops all around. Parking is a nightmare and visibility is minimal. I have lived here since september of last year, and I can't tell you how many wrecks have happened here.
A guy on a shiny new red Vespa was driving in the left lane, a woman in an SUV was in the right lane. The woman decides she needs to turn, and the guy on the moped runs straight into her door. This is but the latest wreck. Just the other night, there was a hit and run outside the parking lot. A few months ago, there was a middle aged woman, drunk, driving through this intersection. She took the turn too quickly and hit a woman and her young son. The son was hospitalized. I have had no word on the child. All I know is that he was moving and crying as the paramedics were taking him away.
Let me give you a bit more color for this intersection. Across from my building is a popular clothing store for women. I cannot tell you how many hot women frequent this place. Catty-corner from my building is an elementary school. Across Maxwell is a fire station. The kid was probably saved because the firemen were so close. The drunk driver was later caught and is in jail. Several times I've seen people driving the wrong way on either of the one way streets, several resulting in accidents, several near misses. Parked cars are no safer than other motorists or pedestrians. The hit and run from the other night was against a parked car.
I have never lived in Jersey or Ohio, but I know that Ohio drivers suck as well, and New Jersey is renowned for bad drivers. I don't know where Lexington fits in the overall scheme, but I would put money on the top five.
