"Lost control". Wonder what she was doing that caused that?

She had to of been moving pretty darn fast I can tell you that. We drove by right after it happened. No rescue crews had arrived but a police officer was on the scene. I was sure the driver was DOA based on the damage to the vehicle from my glance when stopped in traffic briefly. I make it a point to not rubberneck as it is disrespectful and another form of distracted driving. My husband did see more as he was not driving and it was really bad. A lesson she will never be able to have lived to have learned or pass on unfortunately.
This along with that poor 7 year old girl and her mother just a short piece down the same road just a week or so prior. So sad.
Please everyone - slow down on these rural roads. Use your turn signals. don't text and drive. Even fiddling with your radio is distracting! Nothing is worth your life when you are driving your car. No job, message, nothing.

That's not the first time someone has hit and destroyed that sign. It was a while ago but if I'm not mistaken, someone died in that accident too.
If that is true, they should probably replace it with a simple metal sign on frangible posts.
Dont think those welcome monuments do anything good for the respective counties.
As stretches of rural highway go around here, this one should be one of the safest. Has a service road, no driveways backing into the road, good sight-lines, reasonable speed limit. I hope MSP investigates this accident throughly, including a subpoena of the girls phone and SMS records.

I don't know but that particular one may have something to do with tourism, especially since they are bulking up the airport down there to accommodate regional air traffic coming into DC. I believe there is a fancy brick one on this side of the Nice (301) bridge as well. Most of the rural highways in the county have only the tiny green sign indicating that you're crossing into Chuck County.

I say we STOP making this world IDIOT proof and let these idiots prove Darwin right. I'm sick and tired of paying for stupid people through child proof containers and everything else that I have to fight to get into and all those idiot laws that are designed to proliferate more idiots.

Yes - it is not the sign. It is the drivers. There is absolutely no way the sign had anything to do with the reason for the accident.

Really? I guess you've never had your metal mailbox bashed by somebody with too much time on their hands and too much beer in their belly?
Went by the other day. The sign does intrude into the highway right of way, no private property-owner would have been permitted to build a new structure there. Of course, there is no apparent reason why the girl should have run into the sign, still doesn't mean that the county has to put obstacles into the ROW.
