A dangerous road-way exists that keeps claiming lives.

It happened again last week, another fatal accident near Lamb’s Canyon taking the life of yet one more driver. It’s the section of road near Mile Post 137 near the Lamb’s Canyon exit on I-80.

The same scenario is repeated here over and over. It’s a dangerous stretch of highway. Here’s the deadly circumstance; west bound car/truck crossover through the median to east bound lane striking and killing others in catastrophic head on collisions.

When the same kind of accident occurs over and over in the same location-it’s more than an unlucky coincidence-it’s bad design.

Keep this in mind as you drive Parley’s and see for yourself how it happens. There are far too many accidents at this particular location. We represent a woman who lost her child and her right arm in an accident. It goes without saying that her life has never been the same. Perhaps you know someone who’s had an accident here. Tell us about it please.

This section of road needs to be re-designed. A better design will save lives.  It’s not enough to say that drivers “need to be careful” when driving in this area. The odds are against you because of bad engineering.

It is UDOT’s responsiblity to make some simple changes. UDOT bears the responsibility to do this to help keep us safe. Accidents should be the exception not the rule. Drivers and passengers are needlessly endangered here.

Help us address the danger that is at Mile Post 137.

Here is UDOT’s web-site. Let your voice be heard, don’t bear silent witness to these tragedies.
