At least two trucks hit and got stuck in the past two weeks. One was white, and one was yellow (the yellow truck people left their debris under the bridge).
I figure once every 7 years, I might as well update the “how many times has the bridge in Crozet been hit by a truck?” post.
By 2015, we’d seen a few impacts. My then-11-year-old said:
“Crozet needs to figure this out because that intersection is, “the backbone of Crozet.”
If a fifth-grader can figure that out, why can’t the rest of us?”
A quick FOIA (one of three) this week, and Albemarle County Police were super-quick to respond.
“Research of our database yielded 2015: unknown, 2016: 6, 2017: 4, 2018: 4, 2019: 10, 2020: 4, 2021: 7 accident responsive to your request.
Our database could only go back to 2016.”
And four so far this year.
Might as well start a spreadsheet to track this; would love it if the folks at the Mudhouse would help and send me a text when a truck gets stuck. 🙂
I do wish they’d clean up their debris; some do, some don’t. But, I do always think about the kind folks who did volunteer to clean up others’ trash in 2017.
