Drive state Highway 500 as part of your commute through Vancouver? Odds are you’ve seen quite a few fender benders.
In the last five years, there have been just under 400 crashes on state Highway 500 at the intersections of Northeast 42nd Avenue/Falk Road and Northeast 54th Avenue/Stapleton Road. That translates to about one crash every four days at two traffic lights less than one mile apart.
