Crash Scene Was Dangerous Because Police Didn’t Direct Traffic Properly
Yesterday there was a crash at this intersection with only 1 highway patrol car and 2 police officers there. One officer was dealing with the crash/report while the female officer on the far left side was just standing there the entire time. Me and more than 10 other cars were stuck waiting on the side road because we literally could not see oncoming traffic properly due to the flashing police lights/high beams. The tow truck/helper in the yellow circle was the only person actually trying to help cars enter safely while police were busy. Multiple drivers asked the female officer to move closer and help direct traffic but she just stood there and did nothing for around 5 to 7 minutes. Eventually one driver tried to go carefully and almost got hit by an oncoming car doing around 80km/h because visibility was terrible from the lights. I’m not trying to blame anyone, I genuinely want answers. Is this normal procedure? Was she inexperienced? Or just couldn’t be bothered? Also the police station is within 4kms from this spot so I’m surprised no extra traffic control showed up because honestly it felt dangerous and another crash could’ve easily happened.
