Default 120th in Broomfield... Accident City?

What's up with the drivers on 120th in Broomfield?!? I work just off of that road and drive it 2+ times a day and just saw the third non-trivial accident in three days!

Most of you probably saw the news yesterday about the "road rage" incident that claimed two lives. The day before I saw a multiple car fender bender just East of Federal. Nothing too serious, but car bits all over the road and 4+ cars pulled over on the shoulder.

Just twenty minutes ago, as I was heading east into on 120th near Lowell, drove past a nasty looking wreck. A big yellow moving truck which was apparantly attempting to cross the road got t-boned by a blue B5 Avant heading west on 120th. The Avant was jammed under the truck. Hopefully the front seat occupants survived. Ambulance was driving up as I passed...

Drive safe in Broomfield and Westy, there must be something in the air! Hopefully they don't freak out and lower the speed of that road to 35mph. Maybe the car rollover at SCR this weekend was an omen of the week to come?

Default No this was last Aug. But I know what you mean that area sucks...

In fact the police officer that showed up said it was one of the worst roads in the area.

Default Maybe the locals just can't drive 55?

I hope they keep that section 55mph, otherwise my commute just gets longer. Not like I get to drive over 45mph on that stretch very often since many drivers don't seem to know what the speed limits are or maybe their cars can't handle those warp speeds.

That reminds me, just last month I saw an older lady run a red light and clip an Audi. Maybe this road is like the Bermuda triangle for our cars. Watch out!

Default Same thing on 6th

Although today was different, Tuesday and Wednesday on my way to work travelling west I saw an accident in almost the exact same spot in the east bound left lane both days.

Not to mention on my way home, there is almost always an accident in the west bound lanes.

I don't like being in that area at all.
