Tree memorial in yard on Burke Lake Road in Burke?

On Burke Lake Road, near the intersection with Coffer Woods Rd, there is a little house with a tree in the yard. It seems to be a memorial of some sort, as there are often knick-knacks and mementos in front of the tree (eg, stuffed animals)...what's the deal? Is this the site of a car crash fatality?

A teenage girl was driving around drunk late one night and killed herself by driving into a tree that was in front of that house. Her friends and family planted that new, smaller tree, and now it's a showy roadside memorial. I don't know how the owners of the house stand it. Personally, I would have a problem if it were my yard. Each time they planted a new tree, I would come out and chop it down immediately. They need to move on with their lives. Doesn't she have a grave they can go to? Anyway, she was drunk.

In a nutshell, it is a roadside memorial to under age drunken driving.

P.S. This was maybe 2 years ago.

Here's the thread from 2010 when it happened.
