The backstory:<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, reporter Leslie DelasBour spoke with<\/a> an EaDo couple \u2013 Kevyn and Zan\u00e9\u00a0Hollowell \u2013 who said their camera captured at least seven crashes at the intersection of McGowen Street and Chartres Street<\/a> within a week.<\/p>\n

According to Kevyn, many of the crashes appear to involve drivers traveling northeast on Chartres Street as they try to join the I-69 North ramp. He believes some drivers were not seeing the red lights at the intersection.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, FOX 26 observed that there were no overhead traffic lights for drivers approaching the ramp, only two traffic lights on poles on either side of the roadway.<\/p>\n

The resident said there used to be traffic lights above the road, but they were damaged in a crash about a year ago.<\/p>\n
