Dear Keith:
I'm writing this with regards to an incident that occurred on Wednesday evening of last
week (11 th). I was coming back from a road trip to Missouri. A week earlier when I left
Coppell, the freshly poured concrete lane of Coppell Road was not open to traffic. Thru
traffic was still utilizing the west side asphalt lane. At approximately 9:00 pm last
Wednesday, I was cutting through from Denton Tap to Coppell Road via Moore Street.
A week earlier, in order to make a right onto Coppell Rd., one had to utilize the west lane
in order to get to my destination (Kaye Street). There was no signage (or
barricades/cones) indicating there was another option. It was pouring down raining and I
could not see that during that week, the crew had excavated the west side down
considerably, and traffic was now supposed to be using the concrete lane. There were
still two barricades in place blocking part of the newly poured concrete roadway.
Obviously, very confusing, and especially in a downpour.
I proceeded to drive across the concrete lane and over and onto the torn up west lane.
Here again, the only cones in place were the ones to prevent north bound traffic from
driving/falling off onto the excavated portion of the roadway. None were in place directly
in front of the west bound lane of Cooper going onto Copell Rd. After driving over the
ledge, I subsequently got hung up on the concrete. The Coppell Police Department was
notified and Officer Mathews responded. He, in turn, contacted Graham's Wrecker
Service. They came and pulled my vehicle off of the ledge. Officer Mathews placed a
cone(s) directly in front of the areas where Moore crosses over, so as to prevent someone
else from repeating what had just occurred. I realize that projects such as this can be
very complex and involved. However, I also believe that there could have been
additional safeguards in place to prevent such an incident from occurring.
Attached, is the $75.00 charge that was paid for having to have my vehicle lifted off the
ledge. Sine the incident, I've had the vehicle inspected for any possible undercarriage
damage. The dealership advised that they found nothing that would be detrimental to the
efficient operation of the car.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance in working with the contractor regarding the
collection (reimbursement) of the $75.00 wrecker charge.
