They're talking about East Main Street (Route 11), not East Street.

Route 11 runs from Christiansburg to Radford and is called East Main Street where it enters Radford. There is no "10 block" of East Main per se, it's just a way of saying, "Right over the Radford line, where it turns into East Main Street." Here's a pic, with the area that he crashed circled. Doesn't look like much, but I've seen numerous single-car crashes there over the years. It's baffling. It's a 45-MPH area, and I routinely drive it at 50-55 miles an hour and never have any issue, so I don't know what makes people go off the road, because it has never happened to me.

Now you're pushing my buttons.

True and that area in “the bends” near the river bend is a dangerous spot
