Weaverville NC Car Crash Reems Creek Fire Dept to the Rescue 2 26 09

What I really mean to say was that they can't go in the other directions because the counties are dry, so they speed down Paint Fork & Reems Creek to get to the ABC store. Now they can just go into Weaverville for the new ABC Store, and take 19/23..

I know, maybe they will take the highway instead of Reems Creek going at those speeds

When I saw the aftermath of this accident, I wasn't sure if anyone could survive this.

[janie237]

Well I hope so. Many people using Reems Creek to get over to Barnardsville speed like crazy. They pass you doing 80 mph and up, racing in either directions, some acting as if they were intoxicated, and I think a lot has to do with it being a short cut to the closest store that sells alcohol or the Woodfin ABC store. This is because Madison County is a dry county.

[AskAsheville]

It could have been him hitting me if he did not take that first smaller curve the right way

[AskAsheville]

I know, coming from Barnardville, they race like mad to make it a "shortcut" when it really isn't. They just assume there are no police on Reems Creek, used to be some near Vance's Birthplace a lot (Troopers and Buncombe) but have not seen them in awhile.

That doesn't make much sense janie237.  Barnardsville is not in Madison County. It's in Buncombe County. I don't see how going over the mountain from Barnardsville then through Reems Creek would be a short-cut for anyone coming from Madison County.

OMG, I hope the person is ok. This will wake not only him but also other people to STOP SPEEDING!

Someone on Topix said they heard it was a 10-56 or something, which means drinking/drunk etc.
