Prince William County’s Roller Coaster Road Offers a Dangerous Thrill
Posted on Apr 30, 2011
Accidents happen. However, when accidents continue to happen, on the same stretch of roadway, something must be done. Logmill Road, in the Bull Run Mountain area of Virginia has been the site of seven deaths since 2000. Every one of the deaths was caused by a serious accident involving young people.
Jonathan Perok, spokesperson for Prince William County Police, stresses that the road itself is not the problem. The problem is speeding.
"There are issues with speeding on the road," said Perok. "The road itself is not dangerous. Drivers often ignore posted signs which line that road. That's what leads to the crashes. "
The long list of those who have lost their lives or have been seriously injured during an accident on the so called "Roller Coaster Road" contains one common theme: speed and alcohol. Though some accidents have multiple causes speed is the constant in the equation.
Though police have posted and enforced the 40 mph speed limit, people continue to speed, and continue to crash.
The staff and attorneys at the personal injury law firm of Tavss Fletcher hope that more parents, and young people, work to prevent accidents, on Logmill Road and across Virginia, by maintaining the posted speed limit.
