Maybe they can build a pipeline to avoid these deaths… Oh, wait. We love sand more than life.

Nasty roadway! They should build a huge billboard leaving Santa Maria and Mariposa with this picture posted on it. It might save a life or two.

Great idea, just props not the real ones that would offend the surviving families members. It’s Maricopa not Mariposa.
