Praise God!! My angels were definitely with me!! Thank you for all your prayers❤️✝️🙏...I am grateful for such rapid response and pray for the other driver.

I hope this wasn’t caused by some driver making a dangerous turn around in effort to avoid the SDC traffic lines.

Paul, thanks for the update. You department is doing an excellent job.

And there at the intersection before The Dollar tree alot of drivers are riding the middle to get to the Branson turn off. Very dangerous moves

Prayers

Prayer's

wWow has it been crazy with accident or is it just me?

So in Notch? I hope both drivers are ok.

Wish they'd put a stop light there already. We got into a bad accident there back in July 2012 & they still have yet to do anything for this area. 😡

There is a brown dog that was thrown from the vehicle that is missing her name is Piper her owners are looking for her so ifyou live in the area please keep an eye out she is a shaggy bbrown dog she looks kind of like a schnauzer poodle mix to me would post picture but it won’t allow me to

Needs a stop light not a roundabout

Can somebody say STOP LIGHT!? The light at 160 and 76 works pretty well. Just saying!

Though I too have questioned the idea of a roundabout, statistics prove they are safer. There are less accidents do to the lower number of possible collision points, and the accidents that do occur are typically less serious. May not be popular opinion, but the numbers are there.

Having lived there on old 160 my whole life ... that intersection has been dangerous ever sense they connected the road up there. But also I now live n a town where there are several roundabouts ans the amount of wrecks I see on these isn't good. They are just as dangerous as this intersection a light would be much better. Mo dot needs to come drive around in Colorado ha

Roundabout won't help

I had an accident there in 2021 not long after a couple was killed at that intersection. It’s time they do something.  I vote for stoplight.

We need a round-a-bout. We should vote on it 😁

Roundabouts work great if they are large & the approach is done properly. Having north bound trucks stopping for a light uphill is a pain. That highway has enough traffic to have alternating passing lanes or be four laned. They have enough right of way to do it. I always wondered why the put in turn lanes except for Abesville/Galana @ 176. Also whoever decides the timing of those STOP ahead warning lights needs to be adjusted to the speed limit. Going past it at the speed limit & its not on then light changes red before you get there creates problems for vehicles especially for trucks!🤦‍♂️

It breaks my heart every time I see someone get in a wreck here. Hope we can figure out a way to make this intersection safer. My daughter's great grandparents passed away here at this intersection. Since then I have seen a few different posts about wrecks here. 💔 We gotta do something different.

A damn round about ain't gonna fix it

Whether Round about or a light, Something needs to be put in place!

This pup is missing from this accident today. If anyone finds please call number on collar. Wearing a sweater

The solution is called a flyover. Roundabouts and lights only stall the traffic flow. This is a highway, not a side street. 🙄

Sending prayers 🙏

Stop 🛑 and prayers for people

Stop light NOW!

They put one in here in Manhattan. There are less head on collisions, however some people don’t understand fully how to maneuver them lol

Stephanie Saloga wasn’t you guys down & around there about that time?🫣

I wished they never moved the end of Dogwood Tree Rd to where it is today.

Sure am glad that roundabout is helping

My daughter was in one of the cars in this wreck. PTL she is okay. Please keep an eye out for her Golden Doodle who ran off during the wreck. She is super sweet but is probably frightened. We looked all day for her and finally had to give up as it got dark. My phone is 417-251-2754. We do have a tracker coming in the morning to help. Thank you
