When it comes to creative excuses to avoid traffic tickets, cops have probably heard them all. Some are legendary. The Bradenton Police Department are charged with finding out if the latest excuse for a traffic accident is real or made-up. A 33-year-old woman was involved in a single car accident and told police the cause of the crash was an abscessed tooth according to a story on Bradenton.com.
The woman claimed the pain from her bad tooth was so bad she lost control of her car and hit a flagpole, fire hydrant and bus bench. She suffered serious enough injuries that she was flown to a local hospital. The accident occurred on Manatee Avenue after 9:00 p.m. last night. The street was closed so a helicopter could land and take the woman to the hospital.

There is not a lot of disagreement between police and citizens in Polk County about U.S. 27. They both agree it is deadly. That fact was clearly punctuated earlier this week when a traffic accident on the road called “bloody 27” by residents left three people and an unborn baby dead. A 23-year old, a pregnant 17-year-old and an 11-month-old baby were killed at the intersection approaching I-4. Now according to a story on the ABC Action News website, residents want the county to do more to make the intersection safer.
Residents are calling for lower speed limits for drivers trying to get on Interstate 4 and also a traffic light to better control driving patterns. At the least, they would like some signs alerting drivers to an upcoming intersection. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd may not disagree it is a dangerous stretch of road but he made the point that the latest deaths could have been prevented by seat belts and a proper restraint for the baby. Polk County residents countered that assertion by saying that wouldn’t have done anything to prevent the accident.
