12/02/24 at 1041hrs SSCFPD crews, Branson West Police, Missouri Highway Patrol responded to a two vehicle T-Bone style collision in the 8000 block of E. State Hwy 76. One vehicle occupant was transported to a local hospital by TCAD ambulance with unspecified injuries. The other driver denied medical transport. Vehicle traffic was reduced to one lane until the scene was cleared at 1115hrs. Paul ONeal ~ PIO ... See MoreSee Less
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.
We saw it. It looked bad. We were on our way to Ozark Mountain Homeschool where my daughter teaches. From her house we go normally on 160 to Kimberling City, but forgot that they were doing road work and had it closed. We had to turn around and came up on the wreck. I told my daughter maybe it was a good thing that we went the wrong way first. Otherwise we might have been in it.
Paul, thanks for the update. You department is doing an excellent job.
We sat in the traffic while they were cleaning up the road. Thank goodness they were not hurt badly.
Sending prayers 🙏
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
What is up with all these accidents? 🙏🏻🙏🏻
its like that at the turn off to Talking Rocks Road always cutting people off there😩
Prayer's
wWow has it been crazy with accident or is it just me?
12/01/24 at 1244hrs SSCFPD, Reeds Spring Police and Missouri Highway Patrol responded to a two vehicle collision at the Reeds Spring Junction (Hwy 160 and SR248).

Traffic was diverted around the accident scene until the roadway was reopened at 1342hrs. The accident is being currently investigated by the Missouri Highway Patrol. Paul ONeal ~ PIO ...

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
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.
Roundabout won't help
A damn round about ain't gonna fix it
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.
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!🤦♂️
This pup is missing from this accident today. If anyone finds please call number on collar. Wearing a sweater
Whether Round about or a light, Something needs to be put in place!
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
They need a friggin light there
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.
Elevated Fire Danger expected today with a dry air mass and breezy west to northwest winds gusting up to 25-30 mph. Elevated Fire Danger means that weather and land conditions are favorable for erratic fire spread, if a fire does start. ... See MoreSee Less
