Motorists are encouraged to hesitate a few seconds before leaving an intersection with a traffic light or stop sign.
Just taking a breath can prevent an accident at a light or stop sign.
Sun City West resident Chuck Croghan accounts for one of the accidents in the community last month. He was at the intersection of R.H. Johnson Boulevard and Trail Ridge Drive, when his light turned green and he headed out into the intersection. Then, a truck pulling a trailer, ran the red light, colliding with Croghan’s vehicle, sending him into a pole.
