Days like today, I feel like an extra on-set, filming the next installment of Mad Max. Going to pick up a pizza shouldn’t equal gambling with one’s life (talking to you Hungry Howies on Michigan).

I’m tired of the blatant disregard for our own neighbors’ safety. I don’t want to meet you at a funeral. Stuff happens and people die all the time, but this is preventable.

Every one please slow down. We’re all stuck at the same red lights anyway

That is unbelievable to stop and find fragments of your car after 15 yrs later. Keepsakes now.

@ Mike – Glad you survived the accident. It must have been horrific to get a ride in the air ambulance to the hospital.

It would probably be beneficial to have a short guard rail along there. Getting the county to do anything, is like pulling teeth from a boar hog. The sticks in the road on Pine Forest and Hwy297A has caused 5 accidents in the last month. Drivers on Pine Forest do not take precautions when barreling through there. Poor road design as traffic on both roads are trying to jockey into one lane or the other. Then you have that mess with people trying to get a cup o’ espresso at Starbucks or auto parts at O’Reillys. I detest going that way now. I take Pine Cone if I’m turning right onto 9 Mile. I take 81/2 Mile Creek Road if I’m turning left onto 9 Mile. I feel more at ease driving in this area now.

Y’all be safe out there and watch for other motorists.

Bad driver aside, it may be time to place a guard rail there, as that curve has built up in residential density and a car may end up in someone’s house, l. I learned the hard way, hope others simply exercise good judgement and slow down.
Moreover, I stopped at my accident site like 15 years later, was able to find small fragments of plastic, painted Ford Cobra Jet blue.

HWY 97 and Devine Farm Road – YES – a dangerous curve to drive around.

Many drivers do not stop at HWY 297A and HWY 97. Some speed up to keep from getting hit after pulling out, while others go too slow and almost get rearended. Drivers fly over the bridge, continue South and I see most run over the center line or sliding along the edge of the road. I move far right if I’m driving North in that area. Driving South I give plenty of distance. Because that one time I don’t, someone is going off the road or hitting head-on. My neighbor was hit head-on by a North bound dump truck. She and her daughter survived, but at one time barely holding on to life.

It takes a simple mistake to look at your phone, accelerate too much, or sightseeing to have an accident.

Prayers to the family of this young man.

Please everyone drive within the speed limits, stay off your phone, don’t eat and drive, discipline your children at home and ladies, apply makeup in your home not your car.
