*CG locator Roanoke Co.

And, police say the stretch of
roadway from Starkey Road to 220 has
more crashes than anywhere else in the
city, especially in front of Tanglewood
Mall.

The top five crash intersections
include Electric Road at Elm View Road,
Electric and Ogden Road and Electric
and Brambleton.

Police say part of the problem is
due to the high volume of drivers
through this area.

Roughly 50-thousand people travel
it daily.

And police say the majority of
the accidents comes as the result of
aggressive driving.
