      He had a seizure… nothing to do with the traffic setup.

      that,s true but one car rear ending another car is nowhere near as bad as a head on collision.if st johns pl would have been a one way st then it would have been a rear end colision which is nowhere near as bad as a head on collision which unfortunately is what happened.

    A rear end collision could be just as bad if it causes a chain reaction where the car that gets hit is shoved into the car in front of it and on and on.

      the only time that can happen is if the first car to cause the collision is going really fast like over 50 mph or so & it hits a car stopped at a red light.that is the only time that it can be a chain reaction but if it,s a head on colision even if both cars are going slow the results are always disasterous.
