To the Editor:

The tragic early morning accident in Ship Bottom on Saturday, June 22 caused gridlock for those wanting to get on and off LBI.

I understand the closing of nearby roads is necessary for the investigation, but it caused gridlock for traffic approaching the traffic circle area at Eighth and Ninth streets due to the Saturday morning volume and the uncoordinated traffic lights. Why were there no policemen at the critical intersections directing traffic?
