Accident at corner of Market and 21st has many concerned

Wilmington police responded to a three-car collision at the corner of 21st and Market Street Monday.

One person was transported to New Hanover Regional Medical Center to be treated for minor injuries.

Bystanders say this stretch of Market Street is dangerous because the street is too narrow.

“This corner is a death trap, because the road is too narrow, the people go too fast on it, and it’s just criminal to have such a wonderful place marred by that kind of a travesty, that could be easily fixed by turning this into a two-lane street,” said Vivian Plassar.

There was another accident at the same corner on Friday involving a scooter.
