I'm the Aunt to one of the passengers letting you know that they are all in stable condition

This is sad . I'm so worried about my 16 year old getting on the road . I'm actually slowing the permit process down . Kids just get to excited about having a lisence they forget the safety with it .. Or the fact that their parents are at home waiting for their safe arrival .

Kim , are the kids local ?
I'm actually a "PARENT" to many kids in Evans City and Zelienople , Mamma. B :) and I worry about them all ..

Hmmm - the dawn brings news of yet another horrible accident at or near the intersection of Rt. 19 and Ehrman Rd. For those keeping score (see other recent patch articles) this is now three terrible accidents near this intersection in 6 days here, and at least 7 in the past 3 months that I have either witnessed or read about. Is it reasonable to speculate that the missing (delayed) traffic light at this intersection may have contributed somehow via 1) excessive speed by a young driver through this area or 2) the driver being caught off-guard by the sudden appearance of left turning vehicle entering Rt 19 south from Ehrman Rd into their pathway? These have been themes from past accidents. 3 horrific accidents in less than a week on this stretch of roadway. PENNDOT, are you out there? Cut the red-tape nonsense that seems to govern your every decision and just approve the darn traffic signal pole you refusing to let the contractor install. It is now close to 30 weeks past due for installation! As others have said, it will evidently take a fatality for Harrisburg to wake up and listen.

That has always been a bad area for accidents. Don't forget that a light there could also cause more issues. North and south traffic will approach the light downhill which could make wet or icy days even worse. Once they try to stop and can't there will be a line of traffic coming out. When he Sheetz goes in even more traffic will be there. It's a scary intersection and there is no one solution for it. Use extra caution and be aware of all the traffic and hopefully we all get home.

Pat- I agree 100%! I live off of Ehrman Road and dread having to face that intersection every day, usually several times a day. The intersection is even more dangerous now that they put the extra lanes in without the traffic light! Is it going to take someone getting killed there before a light goes in?

8 PM is not too bad for traffic and being dark, cars are easier to see with their lights on. I remind my teenage boys all the time to be careful when they drive plus make sure they wear their seat belts. I am glad the kids in this car are in stable condition and pray for their quick recovery. It is a perent's worst nightmare.

I highly recommend that no student get their permit or license until they have taken a safety course from Jim Clair at Ultimate Defensive Driving. Intense course that is worth every penny.

I'm one of the people that were in the car I'm sitting nxt to the girl that was in the passenger seat at her house and the other male is home as well the driver is still in the hospital with two broken collar bones and skull fracture

Two are still in the hospital one went home

That intersection is terrible. PennDOT let's so much go and even a fatality is still sometimes not enough for them to listen. :-(
