Jackson Jambalaya

Two (at least) miracles in two days- no one was killed in this event and God throttled the storm yesterday.

That guy must have been flying...

Wwwahhhhhh

We need lights and signs and speed bumps!

Bunch of losers need to quit smoking dope and watching porn in your phone while you driving.

There's a curve on Ellis Avenue in Jackson that had dozens of cars over the years run into the house there. Going south on Ellis just south of Capitol street on that bad curve. It got so bad they put steel posts in their yard. Haven't been thru there in decades so I assume it's still bad.

Driver: "I rounded the corner and was blinded by these damn TV lights. Couldn't see shit!"

Love me some drama-queen. Reporting 101. Now back to you at the station.

I'm glad she is ok, but this is nothing new. I grew up on colonial glen right around that curve in the road. Been many wrecks and flipped vehicles over the years, and cars in the ditch right before curve. Its nothing new. Ppl need to slow down. First wreck in the curve that I saw as a kid was a grey jeep Cherokee (excuse me I mean just "jeep") flipped on its side. That was about 1987ish. The curve may not be safe, but that's not news. Like saying Jackson is not safe. Ha!

Lady that use to live in that house Teresa is standing in front of was Dr Abney's (long-time pediatrician in Jxn) nurse Charolette I think. Next door had the best firework war backyard (yes, bottle-rocket wars at night with no goggles, the way fireworks were supposed to be played with -- kidding). That neighborhood was incredible back in the day. Cut some yards to pedal to the K&B Drug Store or Walmart on the more adventurous days.

Sorry for the stroll down memory lane, carry on...

Why would the city fix that? They can't fix a friggin' thing unless the wealth is spread around to FOMs (friends of mayor).

Remaining to live in this shithole is like playing Russian Roulette and forgetting to remove a bullet.

30 minutes and no cop. Maybe she should have told them she had donuts that were getting cold. Yup, love this place.

Get them to put up a net to catch meteors while they are at it.

Lessee...

Bad curve known for multiple accidents.

Plus typical inane "reporter" who goes out there and stands right where the accidents repeatedly occur.

Equals said fool bout getting run over.

And no footage of the incident which was apparently unpredictable, even though that's why they were there.

I guess they didn't know the bad curve they were reporting on was a bad curve. That fits.

In other "news" icy streets are slick - here lemme go out there and show you how you can slide around...

Idiots.

Therese is a great reporter and human being. Note that she was less concerned about herself than she was about her cameraman. Kuddos to a great person.

That particular set of curves in that road alignment (the way the road go) most likely started more than 100 years ago as a cattle trail, then as a dirt road for wagons and Model T Fords, then Model A Fords and maybe it was gravel by the time of the 57 Chevy. More than likely paved since the 1960's and hundreds of thousands of vehicles have navigated it without incident. Well, apparently until very recently. If the City is going to continue to cater to the idiots, then let's see them put a set of the temporary construction K-Rail type "Jersey Barriers" down the centerline of the road through the curves.....just like MDOT did on I-55 between the Woodrow Wilson ramp north towards Lakeland to keep peoples from cutting all the way across the interstate to take the Lakeland exit which they later removed. There are no houses/driveways on the south side of Colonial Circle in that area so that's not an issue, the houses/driveways on the north side of Colonial Circle will have to access their property from Old Canton Road. Or.....better idea completely.....just put a traffic circle in the straight part of the road west of the curves to slow peoples down before they get to the curves. And put a life size statue of Kenny Stokes in the traffic circle since he likes to stand out in the middle of the road for his press conferences.

"Therese is a great reporter and human being. Note that she was less concerned about herself than she was about her cameraman."

Then she probably shouldn't have parked him in a known dangerous spot.

it is all YT's fault.....this curve has been like this FOR YEARS. The problem is the DRIVERS not the damn road...Jeez....

How about FOC -- Friend of Chock?
