5- How Many Accidents Have There Really Been at 212 & Playhouse Lane?

We do not really know how many accidents there have been at the intersection of Route 212 and Playhouse Lane and the Playhouse Plaza parking lot. Let us find out now.

I have heard about only two collisions at the intersection of Route 212 and Playhouse Lane and the Playhouse Plaza parking lot. In both cases, the accidents occurred at very low speeds, resulting in only slight dents to one or both cars involved. That's the good news.

The bad news is that I have lived in Woodstock for only 7 months, and it's not like I have been asking people left and right if they had car accidents at that corner. In fact, I never asked anybody.

The other good news is that no people were injured in the two accidents I know about. The bad news is that this might not be the case in the future. If a driver fails to see an entire car, what are the prospects for pedestrians, especially the little ones on their way to the elementary school, which is very closeby?

This particular blog post exists so that you can leave your accident accounts. I would like to know about any accident at this intersection.

It is understood that insurance rates increase if you report an accident, so you do not have to sign your name. However, it would be helpful if you identified the accident by the general appearance of both cars, or the exact location in the intersection, or the approximate date, so that we do not count several accounts of one accident as several accidents. Please write about the accident in as much detail as possible, including where in the intersection it occurred, and including where both cars were coming from, whether one was stationary, etc.  Please include the north shoulder of Route 212, that is, the shoulder where people routinely park, across from the parking lot.

Thank you very much in advance for making sure that Woodstock remains a safe town for all who walk and drive here.
