The van struck the pickup truck on its side, police said.

Kilburg was uninjured, police said.

I cannot stress the importance of wearing a seat belt. That is a difficult lot to turn left from anytime of day but at 8am on a week day...extremely chancy.

This picture is well past the accident scene and the cones are there due to freshly painted lines.

Making a left onto Lacey Road is close to impossible at any time of the day. More traffic lights need to be put up. Especially down by St Pius! I hope the guy who was air lifted is doing okay. Probably on his way to work. Scary that our lives can change in an instant! Prayers go out!

Lacey rd. is dangerous!!!!!! Speed limit too fast , considering modern driving skills. Too many cross streets. Idiots racing to the next light changing lanes.
