A major crash at E. Beauregard Ave and S. Oakes St. sent one man to the hospital complaining of having difficulty breathing, San Angelo police said.
A green Chevrolet Avalanche was west on Beauregard and a white Ford Ranger was headed north on Oakes. One of the drivers ran a red light, and the two trucks collided in the intersection.
San Angelo police do not have an independent witness to reveal which driver disregarded the red light.

The investigation continues at Shannon Medical Center where police will interview the Ranger driver.
The driver of the Avalanche was not injured. Both trucks are being towed or hauled to the wrecking yard.
So far, no citation has been issued.

And this is why we need Red Light Cameras.

PermalinkI don't understand why San Angelo hasn't invested in traffic light cameras. Yes, it's an expensive endeavor. But I'm willing to bet that they would pay for themselves in less than a year by helping law enforcement accurately dispense citations. And, maybe, drivers would think twice before knowingly and wantonly running red lights. Of all of the cities I've lived in (including San Antonio), San Angelo has got to have the highest rate of irresponsible and careless drivers. Makes me wonder if those who teach Driver's Education are actually teaching or are they just collecting the money and haphazardly passing these students.
