A dangerous intersection in Akron that totaled parked cars and sparked concern among residents has finally seen safety improvements following a viewer’s request for help.
The intersection at Manchester Bypass and Manchester Road had drivers crashing into parked vehicles after failing to heed the “Do Not Enter” sign.
A viewer, Sam Gabella, initially contacted News 5 after his parked car was destroyed by a driver who drove through the intersection incorrectly.

Despite contacting the mayor’s office, he received no response. However, after News 5 investigated, changes have since been made to improve the intersection’s safety.
“This has been happening all month. Just accident after accident,” Gabella said.
Dashcam footage shows a car veer off the road, ignoring the “Do Not Enter” sign and slamming into Gabella’s vehicle.
Just days later, a similar incident happened to a neighbor’s car. Gabella shared emails with News 5 that he sent to the city, hoping for a resolution, but he said he never heard back.
