This one involved 2 cars, I believe, one of which was on fire and which took a great deal of time to put out. I was maybe the 20th car back (pulled over) and by the time, the police/fire let us travel again, there was backup on both sides of the Neck Road for a mile or so, each way. 3 state police cars, numerous Moultonborough police cars, a number of fire engines, 2 ambulances - quite a number of safety vehicles. I felt bad for whoever was involved. That curve is the scene of more accidents yet it doesn't appear to be particularly sharp - I travel on it, coming and going, nearly every day.

"Cross Curve"

I prefer to call it "DEAD MANS CURVE".

How many times have you been in that stretch of road, doing the speed limit and some one has to pass you? Oh never mind that it's a double yellow line.
