In a recent community meeting, residents voiced concerns over a troubling pattern of traffic incidents in their neighborhood, highlighted by a recent accident involving a truck that crashed into a fire hydrant. The driver, reportedly falling asleep at the wheel, narrowly avoided a more serious collision with a nearby house, instead scraping across the lawn.

The incident, described vividly by a resident who witnessed the aftermath, is part of a larger trend of accidents in the area. Over the past three and a half years, only four incidents have been officially reported to the police, raising concerns about the accuracy of data reflecting the true frequency of accidents. Residents are now advocating for better data collection to capture the full scope of traffic-related incidents, which they believe is significantly underreported.

This call for action underscores the community's desire for improved safety measures and accountability, as they seek to address what they perceive as a growing risk on their roads. The meeting served as a platform for residents to share their experiences and push for solutions to enhance neighborhood safety.
