[MCR] accident patterns

We are seeing a bit of a trend in the last 10 days or so with accidents in the Golden area. I’m a little worried that this is the start of something bigger and more widespread as the holidays end and people are looking for that last big ride before heading back to work or school.

 

There’s a couple of new blog posts from the last few days here:
