    This is one of the places in town where it’s impossible to get past an accident. It snarls ALL of the traffic!!! I hope everyone escapes serious injury.

    Praying everyone is ok. From the look of the wreckage, high speeds may have played a role. Please be careful out there everyone! Slow down…

    Stopping for the yellow light will not make that huge of a difference except, everyone gets where they are going safely. The holiday season is no excuse. Slow down, obey traffic lights, signs,and rules/laws.

    One car was waiting to turn left. The other just plowed into the car waiting. I heard no screeching of tires as if trying to stop…..just wham! Right into the vehicle. My friend and I presumed texting/phone distraction may have been involved. :(

    Here’s the problem with slowing down and stopping at a yellow light. If you get stuck at a red light in Santa Clarita you will die of old age.
