We all have that one intersection that just causes us to cringe. These are the intersections where it always seems too busy and crowded, or maybe drivers seem to speed more there. 

Some of these intersections are not just anxiety-provoking - they've proven deadly. 

According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, there are 80 more deadly crashes that have occurred this year statewide than last year. 

Sgt. Thomas LaForge has worked the Toledo Police Department's Traffic Section for six years.  

"The biggest issue that we’re running into is speed," he said. "Especially during COVID when everything was shut down and traffic was so light, (drivers') speed increased so our number of crashes and fatals increased last year, even though there were less cars on the roads.”
