A Rothesay woman involved in the accident early Friday morning on the McKay Highway is disputing Mayor Ivan Courts call to stop work on a third lane for the area.
Traffic came to a stand still when Patricia Burnett's vehicle was hit by a transport truck and started spinning out of control, ran through the median and almost crashed into the east-bound lane of traffic.
Burnett tells CHSJ News, safety is and should be the only thought behind a third lane.
Banged up and bruised, Burnett says she is going to be fine but the RCMP Officer that reported to the accident says she is lucky to be alive.
Mayor Court says he will present Fredericton with a letter soon on his opposition to the construction of a third lane on the MacKay Highway.
