The intersection of 14 and Mott Town is a dangerous intersection, although it does not seem it. A person entering from Mott town can not see a car headed north bound until it is too late sometimes. Also I have noticed that since there is no "TOWN" there, people begin speeding up in that area and have tried to pass me on the right. I am not sure of the circumstances of the accident, however this situation should urge us all to slow down. There is no reason to fly up and down the highway. Plan ahead and leave early. also Get off the darn phone so you can pay attention
