Burbank Residents Demand Action After Latest Crash at Problem Intersection [Burbank, CA]
BURBANK, CA (May 28, 2024) —
Residents of a Burbank neighborhood are demanding increased safety measures after another vehicle crashed into a concrete wall near a notorious intersection.
The crash happened early Tuesday morning at the intersection of Vanowen Street and Buena Vista Street, a spot known for frequent accidents.
Around 4:37 a.m., a black Nissan Altima struck a light pole and smashed through a concrete wall at 1835 Buena Vista Street, according to the Burbank Police. The driver, an elderly man, was hospitalized with a head injury. Fortunately, a large tree and the concrete wall prevented the vehicle from damaging the home on the property.
This Burbank car crash incident comes just two weeks after a Tesla crashed into another home on Buena Vista Street. Residents, including Regina Reyes, are frustrated with the recurring crashes and are calling for more effective safety measures. They suggest increased police presence, more traffic lights, and speed bumps to mitigate the threat of reckless drivers.
One home, located at 1838 Buena Vista Street, has been particularly accident-prone, with news articles dating back to the 1960s documenting dozens of crashes. Despite the installation of dividers and barricades by city officials, residents feel these measures are insufficient.
