In an alarming incident on Thursday, an SUV careened into a residential home following a reckless collision at the intersection of Hickory Ridge and Rose Center Roads. The dramatic crash was caught on video, capturing the moment when the vehicle lost control after being struck by another car. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, but the incident has reignited a debate over the safety of this notoriously dangerous intersection.
Local residents and business owners have voiced their concerns for years, citing the intersection’s limited visibility and high-speed traffic as contributing factors to the frequent accidents and near misses. Many have called for significant safety improvements, including the installation of a four-way stop to help regulate the flow of vehicles and provide a safer environment for pedestrians and drivers alike.
“This is not the first time we’ve seen something like this happen. We’re just lucky no one was hurt this time,” said a resident who witnessed the crash. “It’s time for the authorities to take our pleas seriously and take action before it’s too late.”
Despite repeated advocacy from the community to the Oakland County Road Commission and other local authorities, proposals for safety enhancements at the intersection remain stalled. Officials have not yet committed to any changes, leaving residents frustrated and concerned for their safety.
The community’s outcry highlights the urgent need for action, as more incidents occur and public patience dwindles. Without timely intervention, residents fear this intersection will continue to be the scene of reckless collisions and near-tragedies, underscoring the dire need for enhanced road safety measures.
