Haverhill Looks To Make Intersection Safer After Repeated Car Crashes Into Restaurant

HAVERHILL (CBS) -- The city of Haverhill is looking at ways to make an intersection safer after a restaurant was hit three times in a little over a week. Li's Asian Restaurant was damaged after the crashes, the last being the worst.

A City Councilor told WBZ-TV the Haverhill traffic engineer and an outside consultant are looking into it, but each possible solution has its own set of problems.

In the last 12 years, there have been 65 crashes in the area.
