These heavy trucks that were pounding on the road every day and at that time we didnt fully know how many there were. But we knew it was a lot. Reporter christina lives just down from the old farm on Victory Church road and has been leading the charge to stop the trucks for the past year and a half. She and her neighbors chipped in. They bought a hunting camera right here, wrapped it to a tree and theyve been counting trucks on the road ever since. 200 trucks a day on a heavy day. 200 trucks. I would say, if theyre heading northbound they weigh 80,000 pounds. Its one after another. All day. Reporter 200 trucks in just one day. She startetemaking calls.

We dont know how many times we have to keep reproving what weve already proved and thats the ridiculous thing. D d. O. T. Keeps saying, lets look at it again and get more counts. Reporter weve heard from dozens of neighbors who say the trucks are dangerous. Just about every person that lives in one of these neighborhoods has probably got a story about coming around one of these corners and coming face to face with one of the trucks thats straddling the centerline. The accident happened this afternoon. If i remember right, the Police Reported the truck was doing 65 miles per hour. The road is a 45mileperhour road. Across the centerline and up into somebodys property, snapping three huge pine trees from the top. Reporter despite all this truck traffic, some of these roads are carolina. What theyre hoping is a no truck ordinance. And that would be up to the d. O. T. So we asked the d. O. T. And in an email they told us Victory Church isnt considered a residential road and that restricting trucks on it would have a negative effect on business. And require trucks to travel a much longer distance. The d. O. T. Says trucks would have to take highway 50 and highway 98. As much as four times farther than they have to go now. She challenges the number but says either way it would be a small price to pay for peace of mind on the road. Its terrorizing the people that live here. Absolutely terrorizing them. Reporter we talked to the lawyer for the family who owns the farm. He tells us they generally try to get trucks to take the main roads but that they have no control over which roads they take. What they do have control over is what happens back there. Its agricultural land. Tonight at 11 00, our investigation continues.

Instead, play nation shut its doors with no notice. Leaving those like kendra, who already booked and paid a 100 deposit for parties, with no place to celebrate. Why not just call us and tell news is or email us, if you didnt want to deal with us directly. To tell us that were not going to be open. So then we would have been able to have a backup plan.
