Accident Exposes Risks on Stone Road

June 16, 2019 by Wayne Creed 4 Comments

A major car accident on 184 closed lanes Tuesday afternoon. One car was left smashed and stranded in the middle of the road, while another was hit and pushed to the side of the highway. The event occurred in front of the Cape Charles Brewery.

The Mirror contacted the Town attempting to get information about the crash, however, Mayor Dize and Chief Pruitt did not respond. Town Manager DiRe told the Mirror that he only knew a ticket had been issued.

While the crash could have been worse, one has to question the wisdom of placing a drinking establishment with such a short entryway in a 55 mph zone. The owners of the brewery have previously asked that the speed limit be dropped, but once again this is a VDOT issue.

Concerns have been raised in the past as drunk visitors, unaware of the rules, attempt to drive golf carts on 184 back into town.

    Why did they post a 55 MPH speed limit sign just before the entrance to the brewery? Why can we not keep the speed at 40 for just another quarter mile and try to give ourselves a safer ingress and egress to the new brewery? This is not safe and needs to be evaluated given the new business development and traffic changes.

    ‘drunk visitors, unaware of the rules, attempt to drive golf carts on 184 back into town.’

    I was not aware that you could drive anything while drunk……why are the road pirates not stopping them?

    VDOT needs to get with the program and fix the speed limit. I’ve personally had people pull right out in front of me because they didn’t look both ways. The guy looked one way and then pulled right out. Of course I laid on the horn and he gave me a dirty look like it was my fault.
