That's a tricky curve. I always go through it very slow.

Ben,
It wasn't at the curve. It was at the gentle curve between Menzer's treefarm and the terra cotta factory. I would guess a deer ran out and the poor kid reacted by swerving. It's terrible

The road was closed for hours that night. There are memorial flowers, etc., hanging in the trees at the spot of the accident now.

That doens't surprise me. I don't know when or where this custom started (leaving this make-shift memorials), but boy I wish it would cease.

From time to time I have thought the same thing about the road-side memorials people leave behind for loved ones killed on the roadways. My concern is mainly for their safety as they pull over to leave stuffed animals and flowers. They could become statistics as well. Here in Florida the highway department has made small signs with the deceased name(s) and a "Please Drive Carefully" logo. Loved ones continue to leave behind personal memorials. I hope I never have to leave a memorial by the roadside.
