2nd fatality in 2 days on Rt 33/209...
Rt 33 is closed again between Saylorsburg and Lehighton / Brodheadsville exit
This one looks like your standard head on when someone crosses the median
yesterdays was a speeding truck
http://www.poconorecord.com/apps/pbc...NEWS/100629869The first vehicles normally on the scene of a crime are ambulances and police cruisers. If you are armed you have a chance to decide who gets transported in which vehicle, if you are not armed then that decision is made for you.
Be prepared, because someone else already is and no one knows their intent except them.

Re: 2nd fatality in 2 days on Rt 33/209...
Yep...I just got home. Took me almost 1.5 hours. When I got off 33, I made it until just about the 209 intersection before we came to a complete stop. Took me another 45 mins to get up to BrickChurch road, then ....all the Joisey idiots were bumper to bumper blocking all the side roads, it took me 13 minutes to make a left onto Anchorage. Thank God for knowing the back roads!!
2 souls lost in less than 24 hours. Atleast the trucker didn't succeed in committing suicide and he'll get to stand trial!

The first one at Sheafer Schoolhouse could in some ways be blamed on PenDot. Let`s say the truck came across Pa from Oh. 300+ miles of limited access highway. Then up 33 for 30 miles of LA roads no lights now onto 209 extension looks like a limited access road then bam there's a light with traffic stopped.
No excuse for the driver not being attentive but......
The second accident was the van with the 2 girls in the back seat that crossed the grass median and hit the bucket truck head on. My cousins was getting on SB when it happened.
He said bucket truck driver ok but banged up, suv driver cuts, banged up and trapped but talking, van driver dead immediately but the one girl in the back was trapped and the other may have a broken arm.
Sad situations all the way around.

The light at Sheafer Schoolhouse is not needed and it's a road hazard. Who puts up a traffic light on a major highway? Exbiker is right, Penndot takes part of the blame for this one.

No, PennDOT needs to get their heads out of their asses and wake the fuck up AGAIN
How many people died on the stretch between Saylorsburg and Wind Gap before they decided to put guard rail up, NOT to protect other drivers but to protect the workers... The entire length of Rt 33/209 needs to have concrete barriers between the lanes, why it doesn't? who the hell knows. Maybe someone can tell those kids why she is dead, because there is no way this would have happened if there were barricades
Schaffers School house is a STUPID intersection. it should be closed off, the light removed and exit ramps added. Its not a back road, its a god damn highway. putting a light on it or having people trying to get out there is fucking STUPID!!!The first vehicles normally on the scene of a crime are ambulances and police cruisers. If you are armed you have a chance to decide who gets transported in which vehicle, if you are not armed then that decision is made for you.
