so many wrecks in that area.no telling how many has died from front of house in pasture to ladelle road.
Nine people have died in traffic accidents on that stretch of road between Brown Creek bridge (near Sid Caperton Rd.) and the Ladelle road, that I personally know of. I think it’s because the road *looks* safe, but in reality, there is a big curve and a hill there. People don’t notice it, so they don’t slow down or take extra precautions in that area. I had considered asking the highway department to put up caution signs in the area before this accident. I will do that now!
People just drive too fast and talk on their phones or are texting. Don’t drive so fast!!! Slow down!! We all need to slow down!!! Life is short! Don’t make it shorter!!!
