We passed by as Life Flight was getting ready to take off-wonder if the driver had some kind of medical issue? Although, that can be a dangerous place. Why can't folks just give an inch, let someone in, etc? We had to exit for Porter and come back to go home, and some guy was FLYING up the service road, after just seeing this wreck! I give up. 4951

I see twenty new car accidents a day, I'm pretty much immune to stupid people and their pathetic attempts at what some call driving... Nature of the business I'm in.That said looks like a single car accident that left the roadway and blasted that pylon.First place my mind goes is Texting & Driving.... but I'm not going to speculate on this one. Could have easily been avoiding another person doing the same and just dodged into an immovable object...Pylon 1 - Element 0 4951

I drove past the accident when it had just happened.  People were surrounding the car, as it was pretty horrific.  Looked to be an older gentleman (his hair was grey) slumped over in the driver seat unconscious.  I pulled over into the Chevron to call 911, there wasn't any emergency personnel on the scene yet.  I really hope he makes it and turns out to be okay.  I hate to think I saw a person in their last moments....  4951

Saw this happen. I was stuck behind it for a good hour. Life Flight was a very scary thing to watch. It didn't look like good news.. 4951

I have seen this type of wreck several times. This happens for a few factors.1. speed,, not only the speed of the drivers exiting the ramp, but the fool who is in the feeder, is speeding or cant judge the speed of the exiting vehicle and trying to enter the feeder from a side road. Or the person entering the feeder, is going to slow.2. not making a proper turn,,  the driver entering the feeder lane from a parking lot or a side streed is supposed to make a right turn and enter the emidiate right lane,, not cut across all 3 lanes to get to the far left.  Also the exiting driver trying to make that immediate lane change as soon as they exit the ramp. (this happens a lot in humble, in front of the area where Hooters is at)3. Blinde corners,,, have you seen some of these intersections, if youare in small car, you have to inch your way out, just to see around the corner.4. cell phones,, enough said5. overall not paying attention... people have tunnel vision, they look one way and not the other, they do not look for that one car traveling farther back, who is in a certain lane, and they just go.  Here is how they do it,,,pull up to intersection,, look a phone,, look left see if any traffic coming,,, look at phone, then look right and begin turn, without looking back left,, they keep looking towards right, and get into middle lane or left lane,,, never uses the gas to get going,, on coming car, has no were to go,, now the the entering car is in their lane,,, smash... common words,, "I never saw them"  the other driver "they pulled out in front of me, into my lane" 4951

Most of the problems and brake dance accordion backups I see at the 59N Northpark exit seem to be from being exiting and immediately slowing, coming to a near stop to make a hard right onto Northpark Plaza Dr... which requires you to cross solid painted lines and make a basically 90 degree turn across 3 active lanes of traffic.Which is illegal.Yet people do it all day every day.I've no doubt everyone here knows exactly what and where I'm talking about, and we've all seen many people get into near-miss situations there *just to make that turn*Once you exit and make it into the feeder there is never any backup or congestion. Its just the actual line on the offramp waiting for jackholes to slow to a crawl and time their illegal right hand turn. 4951

People turn down Northpark Plaza everyday when I'm exiting the freeway. If it was me I would make my way over to the  right & go thru the parking lot to get to the street not race across 3 lanes of traffic. Butt holes.
 
It's a few yrs ago but I was coming up the feeder in the right lane & when I got to the street that Harley Davidson is on, someone was on the wrong side of that road and made a right to go south on the north bound lanes and almost hit me head on. People constantly pull out of that street in front of people  at rush hour. I'm waiting for a major accident there one day. 4951
