I thought you were going to say Whipple and Everhard...

I'm not too surprised about Strausser, though. People drive way too stinkin' fast on that road for its size.

Dangerous Intersection On Strausser St.

I agree that many drivers drive way too fast on Strausser St. in Jackson Twp. I had driven through that very intersection just 15 minutes prior to this latest accident enroute to church. When I came out of church I heard Jackson FD saying the corner had arrived but I wasn't sure where the accident occurred. Later I heard a Jackson PD unit in route to Akron Children's Hospital. The blinker lintersection light has helped , but a traffic light may have saved the person's life.
