Accident @ US 13 and Stockton Rd.

Yesterday one of my sons friends and his brother were crossing US 13 on Stockton Rd. I don't know if he didn't see the vehicle on 13 or if he just misjudged the distance, both had to be transported to PRMC.

This is and has been a very bad intersection for many years and for some reason, the cries of the people to the state to have a stop light at this intersection have so far gone rejected.

How many injuries and/or fatalities does it take for the state to recognize that this is a dangerous location?

For those of us that are experienced drivers and have crossed that portion of US 13 many times, we realize that when a vehicle pops around that south-bound turn they are on top of us and we don't chance it. To new drivers and/or visitors this optical illusion looks as if they have plenty of time to cross.

This intersection needs attention, lets get it done before someone else is seriously injured or killed.
