Growing calls for changes to an intersection after the death of a Yarmouth teen.

Seventeen-year-old Brandon Muise died in hospital Saturday after he was involved in a collision on his motorcycle at the Greenville/Hardscratch Road spot.

It’s the second fatal accident in eight months at the intersection, there have been dozens of collisions over the years.

Muise’s aunt Laura McLennaghan says something needs to be done.

“Brandon’s life can’t be lost in vain, and this can’t happen to anyone else. It’s terrifying for most people to drive through there. We lost him, only 5-10 minutes away from his home. It’s unfathomable that we’re going through this grief right now,” said McLennaghan.

McLennaghan says her nephew was a great person to be around.

“His friends said if they were ever down in the dumps, he could put a smile on their face. He was always there to listen and help out, he had goals in life. Besides school at Yarmouth high and working at Wal-Mart, he loved to ride his motorcycle and hang out with his friends. He was so full of life.”

She says a speed reduction, rumble strips, traffic lights or a four-way stop could help prevent future deaths in the area.

The Municipality of Yarmouth has written to the province, requesting a review and safety improvements.

McLennaghan says that’s great news, and the community has been very vocal and supportive of potential changes.

Muise’s funeral will be held Saturday, his friends will hold a memorial motorcycle ride in his honour.

He’s survived by his parents, older brother and extended family.

Donations in his memory may be made to the Brandon Muise YCMHS Memorial Bursary Fund or the Kidney Foundation of Canada.
