Frequent car accidents at St. George intersection spark concern

ST. GEORGE — A concerning number of car accidents at the intersection of Industriplex Boulevard and Fieldstone Drive in St. George has prompted one businessman to reach out to 2 On Your Side.

For the past few years, Brian Baily of Scott Baily Enterprises has been watching wreck after wreck happen in front of the office.

"A lot of wrecks; it seems like once a month," said Baily.

A camera at the corner of the building sees it all. The incidents are occurring during daylight hours when there's more traffic. Speed becomes a factor in crashes.

"It's almost like a racetrack sometimes; it's almost like a straightaway," said Baily.

But it's not just the speed. The camera shows drivers aren't stopping or yielding to oncoming traffic. The video shows drivers appear to have trouble navigating turns, and Baily pointed out blind spots. Fieldstone Drive, which used to be a dead-end on both sides, now connects to more businesses and traffic. An Amazon distribution and fulfillment center and a church behind Scott Baily Enterprises add to the chaos. 

The combination results in fender-benders, T-bones, and cars flipping over. In 2026, EMS says it's been called to the intersection a dozen times for car accidents. The East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office reports it responded to eight car crashes in 2024 and seven in 2025 at the intersection. St. George officially took over responding in 2026 but was unable to provide current data on Thursday.

Coworkers tell Baily they are afraid to park in a specific area of the parking lot because their parked vehicles can end up in harm's way.

"It's not just minor hits; we had a full-sized Expedition pushed over the walkway here into the grass," said Baily.

The City of Baton Rouge did a traffic study at the intersection. The data showed that the area needs a flashing yellow light over Industiplex Boulevard. That study was completed prior to the incorporation of St. George. 

"Something has to be done; I just want it safer; it's dangerous," said Baily.

Until improvements are made, the intersection remains a source of daily concern for Baily. 

The City of St. George says it plans to review the traffic study soon.
