Letter to the editor/South: Light needed at Forward intersection

Letter to the editor/South: Light needed at Forward intersection

I am writing in regard to the terrible tragedy that happened in Forward on June 24. ("Names released of 2 killed in Forward Township crash," June 26).

How many lives must be lost or people injured for something to be done to the intersection of Guffey Road and Route 51?

I have lived in this neighborhood for 15 years and there have been at least a dozen lives lost and many more injuries.

Why can we not have a red light at this intersection?

Wake up, officials, before another life is taken too soon.
