    So sorry for your loss. I hate to see yet another accident on this road, although I do not know the exact reasons this occurred, please let this call attention to this stretch of road coming into Century. It is residential plus many pedestrians walk through there. Speed bumps begin and the sharp turn is ahead. Many have run up the embankment over the years. The speed limit right there eastbound is posted at 15 MPH. and 15 MPH westbound at the curve. Pease ease off and show some respect for those of us who live and walk there and for this young man’s life, rest in peace.
