If you are headed towards 485 & 77 this morning, you might want to take an alternate route or check before you leave.

Sounds awful, and apparently nobody had a seat beat on

Hopefully, they'll all be ok as well and that I don't see any new crosses erected on the medians anymore. It's really creepy when I used to drive that route.

Wondering if SPEEDING was a factor?

It's possible, of course, but I saw the accident this morning (passed under it after it happened) and it was at that really, really nasty spot in the curve where you can be doing the speed limit and if you don't know the road, it can throw you. Those of us who know the road know to slow down, but the curve really sneaks up on you. It's a terrible area.
