Slow down


To the Editor:

In response to all the talk and action taken about the intersection at Florence (U.S.-50 and U.S.-77) I am dismayed at the talk about how dangerous this one place is. What about all the head-on accidents that occurred along U.S.-50 which also were fatal? Was this the road's fault? No, of course not. We have better roads than ever before so let's not blame the road for these tragedies. In my opinion 90% or more of these tragedies are caused by human error.

So may this loss of life cause us who drive everyday to be more alert and keep our mind on the road. May we accept this as a wake up call to us all. Wherever our destination, it will be there a few minutes later. So SLOW DOWN.
