The road is a gradual left hander, no guard rail, 1 foot further out from the road edge, the six foot drop gradually begins until it meets up with a farm fence 10 feet away. In both accidents the road was dry and overcast. The road does have a minor flaw in that the outside edge of the curve slopes down. We have been after the local authorities to install a guard rail for the past four years, no luck yet, but we did get a yellow left curve ahead 45MPH sign installed last year. The speed limit through there is 55MPH.

The "Silverado", as I found out today was a 2006 model with a 2 door cab. Since the truck won't "power up", actual mileage is not known, last carfax mileage for the vehicle was 22K in August. Air bag did deploy and the seatbelt was on.

Why the detail? Simple, still collecting data to convince a few folks that a guard rail is needed. This was the third death in the same curve over the past four years.
