I know of this family that lost their loved one in this fatal crash of the Pacific City man. I have much anger because not only is this a very dangerous road this man died on that no one such as ODOT has done nothing about but it seems as no one cares about this Mans life that has been lost. This family who is unexpectedly grieving the loss of their husband, son and father while ODOT does absolutely NOTHING!
AT LEAST THEY COULD DIG OUT THE FUNDS TO PUT UP A BARRIER WHERE A HUMANS LIFE HAS BEEN LOST WHERE IT IS SO DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO THE EDGE OF A ROAD AND YOU CAN FALL SO EASLILY DIRECTLY STRAIGHT…
