ALACHUA, Fla. – A 46-year-old Gainesville man was injured today when a van pulled out in front of him from CR 237, next to the Dollar General in Hague.
The van, driven by a 61-year-old man from Alachua, reportedly pulled out from CR 237 and was struck by a sedan that was traveling westbound on U.S. Hwy 441. Alachua Police Department’s investigation determined that the driver of the van failed to yield right-of-way to the sedan.
The 46-year-old man was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The driver of the van was reportedly uninjured.
That intersection has gotten bad. I see so many people pull out from 237 without regard of what bearing down on them.
This spot is so dangerous! And our local governments are doing NOTHING to assure for peoples’ safety on 441 and, I might add, on NW 43rd St.
