Comments
Maybe the state should put an overpass at that intersection similar to the one in Grape Creek where they were having the same retarded issue. People not stopping for oncoming traffic traveling at highway speeds. One could assume that no amount of deaths is call enough for an overpass with the way the intersection stands currently.
