Dave: there is a lot wrong with that intersection, it isn't a four way stop, so stop signs don't really do much when you are driving into oncoming traffic. Kerensa was my best friend. Anybody, of any age could have gotten in that car accident, it's not just young people. Was there negligence involved? Yes. But there are things wrong with that intersection. I drive it all the time, many times its hard for me to see if someone is coming or not. Plus people on 75 don't slow down so they are going 65-70 MPH, the speed limit should be lowered, there is no reason why it can't be. It has been one year now, and I still miss her everyday. She was an amazing person, and I love her very much.
