Rhode Island Data Analyst Spots Glitch: Each Year, 33 Identical Traffic Accidents Occur on Same Street on the Same Date
A technical analyst in Rhode Island has uncovered a chilling pattern buried in state traffic records: every year for the past 12 years, exactly 33 car accidents have occurred on the same street—Cove Hill Road in Newport—on the exact same date, February 2nd. The anomaly, flagged during a routine data audit, shows identical vehicle models, similar weather conditions, and even matching police report timestamps for the initial response, despite the accidents being spread across different years and times of day. “It’s like a glitch in the matrix,” the analyst told local reporters. “The numbers line up to the decimal point, but there’s no logical explanation—the street has no known pattern of icy patches or construction that would cause this.” Authorities are baffled, with some calling it the “Cove Hill Calendar Loop.” Social media erupted after the snippet was shared, with users speculating on digital tampering or a cosmic hiccup. For now, the viral claim remains unverified, but data experts urge drivers on Cove Hill Road to avoid February 2nd—just in case.
