"At least three people were transported to a nearby hospital Wednesday evening following an wreck at Holly Springs Road and Tryon Road in Cary. Police were trying to piece together what happened, but witnesses said a Mitsubishi Eclipse ran a red light, hitting a van as it was turning the corner. The Eclipse then flew into the air and landed, hitting another car, witnesses said. One of the vehicles caught fire. Authorities estimated up to five vehicles were involved. The conditions of those involved in the wreck were not immediately known. "

Holy shit.

That looks awful.

10/22/2008 11:00:30 PM

that is a sucky fucking intersection

I've come close to getting side swiped a few times there






on a related note, I bet somebody in the wreck was Asian

10/22/2008 11:00:41 PM

looks like a buddies toyota on the left

10/22/2008 11:01:22 PM

oh wow that's near that harris teeter

part of me wants to see what happened exactly in slow motion like in those all-state commercials

10/22/2008 11:01:26 PM

Damn that looks nasty

10/22/2008 11:05:27 PM

from the story it sounds like some dumbass ricer was being 2FAST2FURIOUS!

10/22/2008 11:06:59 PM

I wouldn't be surprised if it was one or more of the Jimmy Johns drivers involved. Those fuckers are crazy and I always saw them doing some sketchy ass shit in that area.

10/22/2008 11:39:41 PM

yikes my friend lives down the road on holly springs..

that intersection is not a complicated one.. wonder what happened

10/22/2008 11:51:25 PM

where the hell is the big church? Its not coming to memory.

10/23/2008 12:01:25 AM

it's the MASSIVE group of buildings with soccer fields across from the new shopping center (new ruckus, yoho, harris teeter, etc).

10/23/2008 12:03:57 AM

i would've survived

I'm walls1441 and i approved this message.

10/23/2008 1:03:23 AM

No wonder....I was turning off Tryon onto Walnut, and it was still blocked off at 9:45. I didn't know what happened. But shitttttt. What a dumb fucker.

10/23/2008 1:58:47 AM

If MOODY encountered the wreck around 8p, it couldn't have happened more than a few minutes after I went though there. Glad I avoided it, going and coming from my apt.

10/23/2008 2:01:46 AM

I saw the aftermath of this wreck, too--from the looks of it, I was sure there was at least one fatality. I'm glad I was wrong about this.

FWIW, I can't stand the way the traffic flow is laid out over there. The entrance near the new Ruckus needs to be a two-way street. The way it is now, you're forced to go out where that wreck happened or exit by Walgreen's and do a U-turn (Surprise!) where that wreck happened. I hate it.

10/23/2008 3:16:52 AM

Yea, too many exits straight to the street and traffic is way to fast when it gets going, glad everyone is not dead.

At least Swift Creek fire station is only two stop lights away.

10/23/2008 10:19:15 AM

Saw it yesterday when going to that Harris Teeter; police and rescue personnel were everywhere.

10/23/2008 11:14:37 AM

what? there`s a new ruckus?

10/23/2008 11:17:42 AM

Yes, it's less bar like and more restaurant like.
