The Issue

Hi. My name is Elise Horton, and I have recently been rear ended while stopped on US-70 (going northeast), trying to turn onto Broadway Road. I was at a complete stop, with my blinker on, and was rear-ended by someone going 40–55 mph, which totaled my vehicle. I am blessed that it wasn’t any worse than it was. I had to go to the ER, and they determined that I had sprained my lumbar and cervical spine, as well as suffering a concussion and interphalangeal joint dislocation. Before this event had occurred, I have come very close to getting into an accident in the same location. First responders at the scene also informed me that this location in Bartlett has a history of frequent accidents, primarily due to the absence of a designated turning lane. I am starting this petition to hopefully bring attention to this, and get a turning lane/stop light added.  The specific coordinates are: 35.22052° N, 89.81912° W https://www.actionnews5.com/2025/10/06/woman-starts-petition-modify-bartlett-intersection-i-feel-like-i-have-had-brace-impact/
