The fatal accident at the intersection of Route 13 and VA 691 should also remind everyone that making a left-hand turn needs to be done with care and caution.
Police have charged the at-fault driver of the Dodge Caravan minivan with failure to obey a traffic signal and are considering other charges.
While illustrating the risks posed by red light runners, this accident also should remind everyone that making a left-hand turn needs to be done with care and caution. Turning drivers must always give right of way to vehicles traveling straight through an intersection. Even if the minivan’s driver was not paying attention to traffic lights, the person should have waited for the other car to pass before turning.

If Dr. Geoffrey Grubb was prescribing excessive doses of opiate and opioid painkillers to patients who did not need them, he had no business being a doctor on Virginia's Eastern Shore or anywhere else.
In my earlier post to this blog, I noted that Grubb specialized in treating patients for a condition called chronic Lyme disease and that his therapeutic approach included giving patients with the tick-borne infection potentially dangerous medications such as OxyContin (oxycodone from Purdue Pharma) and Vicodin (hydrocodone and acetaminophen from Abbott Laboratories). Along with the potential issues arising from the fact that few other doctors and medical authorities recognize the existence of chronic Lyme disease, Grubb was accused by the Virginia Medical Board of failing to properly track and report patients’ use of narcotics.
Health care is a underserved need on the Eastern Shore, and untreated pain can be truly debilitating. But the use of powerful narcotic medications should be limited and closely monitored.
