Traffic Crash Sends Construction Truck Into Waterleigh Entrance Fountain; Stoplight Coming Later This Year

A dangerous intersection on Avalon Road at the entrance to Waterleigh and Flamingo Crossings Blvd experienced a traffic crash this morning that sent a construction truck into the Waterleigh Entrance Fountain. It appears there were no significant injuries in the accident. 

The intersection has become increasingly difficult to navigate during the expansion of Avalon Road, as visibility traveling northbound is limited due to a hill, and traffic traveling west on Flamingo Crossings Blvd face a confusing stop, which is located in the median of the future road.

A traffic light is already scheduled to be installed at this intersection later this year, and additional roadway improvements have improved the safety of the intersection during construction until the stoplight is installed.
