(WSYM) - Mid-Michigan! Neighborhood reporter Sarah Poulos here! When I was grabbing a coffee at Bestsellers Coffee and Bookstore I met neighbors Bob and Charlotte Wilks. They told me about one of the most accident-prone intersections in the area. The intersection happened to be right by where they live. Last summer, a roundabout was put in, by the Ingham County Road Department in hopes of changing how many crashes occurred. Before the roundabout opened last fall, I met with Ingham County Sheriff Scott Wriggelsworth for some crash statistics.
