There's two on Lee Chapel between the the Parkway and Ox. One was from a vehicle full of young folks, jumped the hill (going towards Ox), went off the right side, then to the left, into a tree. At least that's what I recall from the story.
The one closer to Lee Chpel was from the 19 year old lady who came from the light, hauled up to a reported 70 mph, cut over, entered the light "dip" after South Run, lost control and hit one little SUV, then went head-on into a Jeep Grand Cherokee. She was in a white Honda Accord. And died. Walking to the scene, I remember the blood from the 19 y/o's ear, as she was dead, and FCPD draped the sheet over the car right after.
There's another memorial on the other side of the Parkway, after Onion Patch, heading towards OKM Rd. I seem to recall it was during the day, and a your person hit the median, over corrected, and went into a tree.
But the one which makes no sense is the one on the Parkway just before Waterline Dr. A guy in a Silver Caddy Sedan parks there several times per week and sets up his maintenance or shrine. Today, it was two big cooler jugs, and blocking the turn lane. Smart. Let's cause more danger and confusion. Doubt he should be stoping there, and is too selfish to go another 200 feet and park on Waterline Dr.
