Top 10 Dangerous SA Intersections
#1: 281 North at Loop 1604 (News 4 WOAI)
SAN ANTONIO -- Hundreds of thousands of cars a day make their way north, south, east, and west with everyone looking to get some place and sometimes they do it a little too fast.
The top three crash locations for 2008 aren't all that much different than 2007. Leading the way is 281 North at Loop 1604. Coming in second was I-10 W. and Loop 1604 with 100 accidents, and in third place is Bandera and Loop 1604.
Sean Daniels drives the intersections and says, “I have seen a lot of accidents right here at this intersection, specifically. I've seen cars in the middle of the road.”
The statistics were collected by the San Antonio Police Department but the city sent referred News 4 WOAI to TxDOT to find out what's going on.
TxDOT Spokesperson Maggie Rios admits, “We know what intersections on 1604 need improvement.”
She adds TxDOT is waiting for an environmental study of 1604 to be done before it makes any adjustments to any interchanges or intersections. When it will be done isn't known. And while TxDOT says it can't do anything about these intersections now, the number of accidents at the top three didn't come as a surprise.
Rios says, “Just the sheer amount of vehicles someone is going to make a mistake and we're going to see accidents.”
