PEARSON BRIDGE AT STEWART AVENUESECOND TRAFFIC INCIDENT IN RECENT HISTORY
The fatal accident which claimed the life of an 86 year old Nanaimo resident occurred at basically the same place as another accident.
Only a few days ago, work crews were seen welding a section of broken handrail which has been damaged by another, out of control vehicle. The earlier incident did not result in the vehichle actually going over the embankment but did break through the metal handrail.
The railing is obviously designed for pedestrian safety and not intended to stop a few tons of steel running out of control.
Perhaps it is time to consider designing and installing a barrier suitable of halting a vehicle at this section of highway.
It would be interesting to determine how many accidents have actually occurred at this stretch of road, which obviously has been in it's present state for many years.
