We could not find any damaged guardrail on Fletcher Rd that is town property.

Interesting! I'm sure there was damage to your vehicle. Wasn't your insurance notified of the damage to this guardrail at the same time?

Yes, my car sustained over $11,000 in damages. And yes, the insurance was notified. I was given a ticket. I went to court and was pardoned for the ticket. Therefore I am not held responsible for the damage to the guardrail. The road was simply too icy to be safe - at any speed.

I chose to speak up re. the damaged guardrail because It's not like I'm trying to hide the fact that it happened. I'm the one who called the police in the first place because I wanted to do the right thing. If someone should have a similar problem when the road becomes icy this year, there will not be a full guardrail to catch him/her. That would be devastating.

I believe I may have sited the wrong street address. This is on Laughlin not Fletcher. The closest house should be something like 10 Laughlin Road. It's just that when I did the google map to try and figure out the street address it pointed this as being Fletcher. I do hope the Town revisit this issue.

Thanks for correcting the address. A new rail has been orderedand will be installed as soon as possible.

Thank you Mr. Riach,
I appreciate your reply and certainly look forward to seeing the new rail installed. I can tell you I have a new appreciation for the many factors which can contribute to accidents. I also go around the long way when there is inclement weather now to avoid the hill and curve.

Guard rail has been replaced.

I saw the finished product and am quite pleased. Thank you again for resolving this prior to the bad weather season.
