My son was driving his Ford pickup on June 12, 2025, when a tragic accident occurred at the intersection of US HWY 81 and Arrowhead in Moundridge, KS. A Toyota pulled out in front of him, leading to a collision that claimed the lives of both occupants in the Toyota. This devastating event is not isolated. This dangerous intersection has been a known hazard for some time.

The intersection’s design and its geographic positioning create poor visibility and unexpected hazards, increasing the risk of accidents like the one that will change our lives forever. Too many families have suffered needless loss because of insufficient infrastructure.

According to local traffic reports and resident testimonies, there have been numerous accidents and close calls at this very spot. It's not just a crossing; it's a risk that we all face every time we drive through this area. Statistics show that intersections account for a high number of traffic injuries and fatalities, and without intervention, this treacherous spot becomes a continued hazard.

We urgently need the county authorities and the Kansas Department of Transportation to assess and implement necessary changes to make this intersection safer for all. Solutions could include installing better signage, adding traffic lights, or redesigning the roadway to improve visibility and traffic flow. Our community deserves roads that protect, rather than endanger, its residents.

By addressing these issues now, we can prevent future tragedies and save lives. Together, we can urge the relevant authorities to take immediate action to ensure the safety of this intersection. Moundridge’s citizens and visitors deserve a future free from avoidable harm.

Sign this petition to demand immediate safety improvements at the US HWY 81 and Arrowhead intersection.
