Yesterday my husband, son and neighbor could have been killed due to a head on collision that took place on Route 61 and Mill Creek in Pottsville. While they were stopped at a red light, a bad call to turn by another driver could have cost our family dearly. We have a totaled vehicle and minor injuries.

We were fortunate, but not many people can say the same of that intersection in the past, and possibly not in the future. Traffic signals may not be an answer for every problem intersection, but we desperately need a change in this pattern with an additional arrow signal in all directions. There were no fatalities this time, but we may not have the satisfaction of saying the same next time.

Please consider bringing change!
