Seattle-Tacoma, WAA 53-year-old man died at the scene of a one-car crash in the Shelter Bay area near LaConner WA. Friday afternoon. The Washington State Patrol said the man was driving a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse westbound on Shelter Bay Drive about 3:30 p.m. when the vehicle left the roadway to the left, entered a ditch, vaulted over Snohomish Drive and came to rest in another ditch. The man's name has not yet been released.
A couple of years ago I was riding in a car with my husband and in-laws near LaConner, Washington, when we approached a roundabout. My father-in-law remarked grimly on the novelty, “Oh, uh oh,” and my mother-in-law added, “They’re dangerous!” My husband, who is a real riot at parties, said, “They’re actually considerably safer than 4-way intersections,” putting an end to everyone’s roundabout-bashing fun. But was my nerd husband correct? Yes. But does everyone hate roundabouts? Yes.
