I am more inclined to the erection of monuments to stupidly..... At this
spot on Jan.4 2009, a drunk driver was speeding, lost control and
crashed into a tree killing himself and crippling his passenger or a
guy who was driving carelessly crossed a double line to pass another
vehicle and caused a head-on collision that killed him and injured three
others. Memorials of remembrance should only be reserved for those who
were the innocent victims.
