Manchester: Earlier there was a crash in the area of 1740 Broadway in Pine Lake Park. The MVA involved two vehicles, with one motorist being reported as entrapped initially. Thankfully there were no major reported injuries, and all occupants removed themselves from their vehicles.
The vehicles seem to have a lot of damage for occurring on a posted 25 MPH street. Or do modern cars crumble this easily even at low speeds?
Broadway is 35 mph.
Idk if there’s a stop sign there, but running stop signs is a pretty big problem in PLP.

Yes- it seems that nobody stops at any cross streets on Commonwealth.
Laura Michelle there’s a stop sign every block on every side road and people always just keep going for example on Hannibal they go go first through 4th no stop signs then forget broadway has one and someone on broadway doing 35 hits them
Meghan Turner I’m in PLP frequently and am terrified that someone is going to hit me.
This is why our insurance rates are so high because all these wackos are on the road
Nope very true no one will Stop or slow down at any stop sign. Thats why we have so many bad accidents at these 2 intersections. Think those streets need some big speed Bumps laid down. Slow cars down a bit.
“Oh, that stop sign doesn’t apply to me.”
Yes, modern cars do crumble at lower speeds because government fuel mandates make it so cars have to be built lighter, to get the mpg the gov says it should. The only way to do that is lightweight materials that will crumble in a crash. That is also why you have air bags on all sides now to protect you. Hopefully.
