Road Debris I-4 ♦ ACCIDENT ♦ Orlando ♦ Kissimmee ♦ Injury Lawyer ♦ (407) 850-8680 ♦ Available 24/7

OSCEOLA | ORANGE - Road debris can cause serious Orlando | Kissimmee car accidents on Interstate Highways.  The Road Rangers do a good job in attempting to keep the highway free of fallen debris.  However, sometimes debris from vehicles, auto parts that have come off a truck or another motor vehicle, garbage from waste haulers, and materials left on the road after a highway construction can lead to flat tires, smashed windshields, and cars colliding with one another while attempting to avoid the debris in the roadway.  These crashes sometimes cause significant property damage, personal injury and sometimes death.

According to the AAA Exchange, "more than 25,000 North American car accidents a year are a result of vehicles colliding with road debris. 80 to 90 people are killed as a result."  If you or a loved one have been injured in a automobile or motorcycle crash CALL NOW for an:

Toyota issues new recall for 2.3M vehicles to fix gas pedals

NATIONAL - ABC World News (1/21, lead story, 3:10, Sawyer) reported, "Breaking news this evening. Toyota is recalling 2.3 million cars and trucks tonight, trying to tackle the frightening problem of cars suddenly speeding out of control." The CBS Evening News (1/21, story 8, 0:20, Couric) noted that "late last year Toyota recalled more than four million vehicles because the accelerator pedal can get stuck in the floor mats. Well, today another huge recall. More than two million Toyotas covering eight model years from 2005 to 2010. The accelerator can get stuck in those vehicles as well, even without a floor mat."

The most recent recall, according to NBC Nightly News (1/21, story 6, 0:20, Williams), "is in addition to 4.3 million Toyotas recently recalled for a floor mat problem that could cause the accelerator to stick." The New York Times (1/22, B8, Bunkley) points out, "The first recall was to fix a design flaw that could cause the gas pedal to become trapped under the floor mat." But Toyota "continued to be dogged by reports of unintended acceleration and stuck pedals even in cases where the floor mats had been removed, a stopgap measure recommended" by the company. The Times says the recall affects some year models of the Avalon, Camry, Tundra, Sequoia, RAV4, Corolla, Matrix, Highlander, and "the Pontiac Vibe, a mechanical twin to the Matrix." Not affected are "Lexus or Scion models" or the Prius.

Big Bend Road ♦ Lincoln Road is finally getting a traffic signal near Big Bend Road and U.S. Hwy 301

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY - This is a dangerous intersection in Hillsborough County near Summerfield Crossings. High traffic counts from shoppers at the Publix Super Market and other well established retail stores and eight restaurants make this area for one of the worst intersections for accidents in the county.

Three years ago, when more plazas began to go up on the southwest side of Big Bend Road less than 1/4 of a mile from the existing intersection, residents began to see traffic accumulate in the medians of Big Bend, especially the one at Lincoln Road.

Statistics for the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, reports are that in 2006 11 accidents occurred at Lincoln Road and Big Bend Road, 26 accidents occurred in 2007 and 21 accidents occurred in 2008. Some of the accidents involved fatalities.

According to the county’s traffic planning department, the signal light is in the design phase now, but may not be installed this year because of recent drastic budget reductions.
