Large, Busy Crash Sites

We've just added another nasty, busy intersection to the list of mapped crash sites so I thought I'd show some of the "fun" ones we've done over the years. Every one of these was done without traffic control from police and without diverting traffic in any way.

This is 231 South and Ross Clark Circle in Dothan, Alabama. Not the busiest in the world, but it's relative, and the busiest in Dothan.

Here's I-10 at Theodore Dawes in Mobile, Alabama

Here's I-10 at Higgins Road in Mobile. A tanker turned over on the offramp. We mapped the ramp and back up the interstate for a mile so we could compare the black box data to where the driver was approaching the offramp.

This is one of my prouder ones. We mapped all 3 levels of this monster. I-65 and I-85 in Montgomery, Alabama.

This was one of my first. I-459 at I-65 in Birmingham, Alabama. A car hit an 18 wheeler loaded with phosphorous mortar rounds head on. The car caught fire but the truck did not. They still evacuated most of Hoover.

I-565 at I-65 in Huntsville, Alabama. We worked a wreck on the flyover. Not really hard, but nowhere to hide.
