    Can you be a tad more precise about the location? Claiborne is a pretty long road...

    Claiborne near Croson, white jeep totaled. Only minor injuries, looks like speed and youth to blame.

    Knew that it would be a matter of time before that happens. Hope everyone is safe and not injured.

    Yesterday, I was driving home and just before crossing over Claiborne onto Ridgeway, I saw two cars nearly T-Bone each other in the intersection. Apparently both didn't want to wait for the other to pass so both decided to proceed into the intersection and both came to a halt in the middle of the intersection before one decided to relent... I think a stop light is in need here now with the growth of traffic around here and the increased usage of Croson now.

    Can anyone tell if the jeep driver is okay?

    I gather then that it was a lone vehicle accident?

    Yes, lone car, looked like he/she hit a tree. I have NO IDEA how anyone could lose control there, just above Stone Hollow. The car was flipped over. Ridiculous!

    car mentioned was a jeep.. pretty tall and narrow style of car. Plus if you slide and hit a curb sideways.. real easy to flip over.

    Not saying that's what happened, but doesn't shock me hearing this if someone were driving at speed on rain slicked roads.

    And or hitting wet leaves. It is like being on ice esp if you have never experienced it before.

    No, it is too easy to KEEP it.

    Everyone is on their best behaivor when taking the text.
    Doubt people are texting, talking on the phone, drinking hot coffee, eating, reading a book, putting on makeup, shaving, reaching back to the misbehaving kids...

    Probably speed mixed with an inexperienced driver. Thankfully there were only minor injuries.
