Attention to Borough of Walnutport residents and commuters that travel through the borough, Lehigh Township has advised us, that due to the serious crash that occurred on Sunday on Riverview Drive (S.R. 145) in the area of Willow Road, Lehigh Township will be closing down Riverview Drive (S.R.145), between Mulberry Drive and Blue Mountain Drive, on Wednesday September 10, between 9:00 AM until approximately 12:00 PM (noon), so they can do a crash reconstruction for their investigation.

Smaller vehicle traffic traveling south will be detoured up Mulberry Drive, while traffic traveling north with be detoured up Blue Mountain Drive.

Since Mulberry Drive is a narrow, with sharp, tight turns, all larger truck traffic, including large box trucks, dump trucks, and trucks that have attached trailers, will be detoured at the S.R. 145 and Main Street traffic light in the Borough of Walnutport. These vehicle shall be directed to turn onto Main Street/West Mountain View Drive and then turn right onto Lehigh Drive (S.R. 248), unless the truck has a delivery to be made between Main Street and Mulberry Drive.

Most people worry about speeders. But what if the real danger is behind the wheel of the slowest car?

New studies suggest that drivers going just 10 miles per hour slower than the flow of traffic are up to six times more likely to be involved in a crash. While speeding gets all the headlines, this often-overlooked hazard poses serious risks especially on highways where quick decisions and predictable movement are key to safety. Slow drivers force others to react unpredictably, triggering abrupt braking, swerving, and dangerous overtaking maneuvers.

The issue isn’t the intention to be cautious it’s the difference in speed that breaks the rhythm of the road. On fast-moving lanes, even well-meaning drivers who "play it safe" by driving under the limit can become unexpected obstacles. This isn’t about encouraging recklessness, but about maintaining safe, consistent speed with the surrounding flow of traffic.

So next time you're behind the wheel, remember: safety isn’t just about staying under the limit. It’s about driving with awareness of the world around you. Your pace can be the difference between a smooth ride and a serious collision.
