The other person was Paul Shelton. He was on his way to the meth clinic when the accident occurred. Enough said.

The Ironton paper said the van didn't even attempt so slow down.

It scares people to be stopped at a light because so many idiots don't pay attention. And at these lights as you approach there is a warning signal telling you you will more than likely be stopping! It's not that people are scared of the lights it is that they are worried someone will rear end them!

It scares them because it happens a good bit over there. And yes we are in the chemical valley so maybe we should be scared to breather the oxygen too.

It 'scares' you to be stopped at a stoplight because someone got rear ended while stopped there once? That's just absurd. Does it scare you to breath oxygen? It can cause cancer.

Why are there so many accidents on 52? It scares me to be stopped at a light there because of what just happened.
