may their* soul be at ease
“Tree hugging people”? Escambia county has claimed so many trees for parking lots in the past few months alone, and it’s all so unnecessary. Leave the trees alone. The interstate is a dangerous place with or without trees, but the world is overall better with them here. Like yes let’s put in an interstate full of cars and get rid of the only thing that will help purify the air from the gasses they emit.. like be fr.
Rest in peace to this innocent person and may his soul be at ease.
@oaks the twenty foot wall behind the tree is even safer to hit I guess. The outcome would have been the same.
@Oaks
God bless you for your efforts. Nearly saved a life.
I commented years ago during the I10 widening project about how many lives those oak trees would claim. Two in the past couple years alone. An Oak is like a concrete pole. The project was going to remove them but a tree hugging group lobbied a politician and got their way.. Yes, trees don’t cause crashes, but there’s a reason concrete and metal poles near high speed roads are protected by guardrails.
