Accident on 128

[GamingWeasel]

I was going down 128 about 4:30PM on Friday, and passed what looked to be a very serious accident. A few emergency personnel were on the scene, and more were arriving as I continued down the road. One car was completely off the road and looked severely damaged, as if it had pulled out in front of a fast-moving vehicle and was broad-sided, and knocked off the road. Anybody have more info on this?

Where abouts on 128.  Travelled that road since 1953, 43 years going to work.  Got sideswiped once on my way to work.

I drove by the accident before the emergency responders had arrived, maybe 10 minutes earlier.  There was a lot of debris on the road, and looked to be a number of cars involved (or maybe pulled over to help).  It was just south of Rovers North on the east side of the road.

With all of the work they have done the past two years, they have inadvertently turned 128 into a raceway. Cars pass WAY too fast including in terrible driving conditions.  I used to travel it every day and now mostly avoid it, choosing the slower, bumpier and safer Woods Hollow Road on my way to work. I will see what it is like when the snow flies, but I have a feeling it wont be much better. Gone are the days of courteous driving as everyone is in it for themselves.  No one even pays attention anymore to how to navigate a 4 way stop even.  If its clear, GO! never mind if it is not even your turn ...

I find drivers to still be pretty courteous in Vermont in general. Compare it to driving in Massachusetts.

Agreed GamingWeasel...MA and CT in the greater Hartford area are not fun trips of mine
