FDOT to investigate deadly Manatee County intersection
Kimberly Kuizon reports
ELLENTON, Fla. - From cars trying to make u-turns to backed-up traffic, U.S. 301 at 42nd Avenue Road East has become a headache for many Manatee County residents. It don’t matter what time of day it is, time of night. All you hear is breaks squealing and everyone trying to do u-turns. It’s just so congested in this area, said Wes Thompson, who has lived in Ellenton his whole life. It scares me because also they turn into this neighborhood down here and fly down here.
He hopes the intersection will soon become a safer place for him and his son, Connor, to travel.
