My mom and 3 sisters almost lost their lives in a head on collision in March 1969 due to a drunk driver on this curve. He had just got out of jail. My mom had come to a complete stop before he hit them. It was devastating. My mother lost her oldest brother that same day she went for some dog food for my cousin to feed the dog cause she was to meet the train that was bringing him for burial needless to say she didn’t meet the train or go to her brothers funeral
We used to own the business right there in that curve. Our fence was repaired or replaced eleven times while we were there, saw two men lose their life right there in that curve. Both were speeding and lost control. Don’t blame ECSD, people are responsible for their own actions. Slow down and pay attention.
When will folks stop bashing Law Enforcement!!!!!
Kevin, you should see the Sheriff’s Department cruisers drive down Beulah Rd. They fly down it and ride your bumper just to speed off to the firing range. I guess they are above the law when they’re supposed to enforce it.
Tom, You are spot on…. So sorry somebody lost their life and family, but he was operating the vehicle..
why do people always blame law enforcement, the width of the road, everything except the operator of the vehicle. the road didn’t cause the crash, the law enforcement or lack of didn’t cause the crash. pay attention to what you are doing.
That curve has claimed a couple of lives. So sorry this happened. Praying for him, his family and friends.
Prayers for the family. Hmmm. Still no patrol up here. Cops are even doing 80’85 mph on 29. When is it gonna stop
