Driving Safety on Ocean Parkway

A head on accident on Ocean Parkway Tuesday left one man seriously injured and another under arrest. How safe do you feel on the Parkway at night?

A frightening two car accident on Ocean Parkway led to a serious injury and arrest on Tuesday.

A man driving under the influence of drugs was traveling west on the parkway  and crossed over the center median into the eastbound lanes, before crashing head-on with another vehicle, state police said.

The driver he hit suffered serious injuries and was airlifted to a local hospital.

The accident took place after dark, when there's often very little traffic on Ocean Parkway.  We want to know if you feel safe driving there at night.

Do you feel drivers speed too much? Are there other safety issues that concern you?
