News Center 7 crews on scene saw a damaged bicycle in one of the crosswalks, and investigators were taking photos of a white Cadillac.

The intersection was scattered with evidence markers and blocked with crime scene tape for hours.

Several neighbors told News Center 7 that this intersection can be dangerous.

“Last week, we were driving home, and there was another incident right here,” Harrison Township resident Wiltaveuh Grossley said.

Grossley grew up in Harrison Township.

She was on her way home from work when she came up on this crash.

“And all of the sudden, like all the police are pulling up, I’m like, oh my God, what’s going on? And there’s a bike in the middle of the roadway and then there’s a car, you know,” she said. “It’s been very hectic, like this has been like the fifth accident like this in a couple weeks.”

She added that drivers speed through this intersection often.

“No one uses the walkway,” Grossley said.

News Center 7’s Taylor Robertson saw it herself.

Several people ran across the street, dodging cars.

Grossley said when people do that at night, it’s hard to see them.

“And the fact that it’s getting dark at 5 o’clock now,” she said. “I just wish everyone would just slow down and pay attention. It’s a very high-traffic area. Kids walk around here all the time. I wish that we would use the crosswalks; there are crosswalks everywhere.”

Additional information on this crash wasn’t immediately available.

News Center 7 will continue to follow this story.
