I have always questioned the wisdom of having full grown trees in a median strip.
Odds are speed and drugs were contributing factors. Check out Case search multiple arrests for possession.....You reap what you sow, just glad he didn't kill anyone else.....
Yep, all trees, utility poles and signs should be 50 feet from any lane of travel to protect those who cannot drive properly.
Multiple arrests eh? Nothing lost then and thankful no one else (innocent) was included.
So without the trees they can just run across the median and hit a car headed the other way head-on yeah that makes sense
This mans father died dec 8th on the same stretch of highway. The father passed pulling of queen ave which two to three blocks away from Seminole. You can literally stand at one seen and see the other. This is very sad, amd this family will never be the same. Prayer to the family.
