A Tragic Accident and A House Falling In

Three young children and their grandmother were killed Wednesday when an 18 wheeler crashed into their car after the grandmother turned onto highway 27 near Crystal Springs.

There are warning lights and signs to slow to 45.

Residents say numerous accidents have happened there over the years, many fatal.

In January WLBT news reported on the problem.

One person told us the solution was to put speed bumps or a traffic light there.

We'll keep you posted.

Now this.

Howard Ballou showed you a house in Jackson in Taking Back Our Neighborhoods Monday night that was literally falling in.

Residents had complained to the city for 6 years.

Howard made a call and, what do you know, the city now has a work order on the property.

You can't help but wonder, if that house had been in some city official's neighborhood, would it have taken 6 years to get something done?

Hardly.

That's my Point of View.
