    I drove right by this one this morning. They had SB Hiway 75 closed and put everyone on the service road. The white car looked worse in person than the picture. According to the short article, there was a minor accident on the SB side. Traffic backed up, and according to the article, a Big Brown tractor pulling a set of pups collided with four cars. I did see a Big Brown tractor and set of pups and the tractor had damage to the front end. I suspect because of the location of the white car, the accident probably happened at that merge where you leave the truck stop and get on 75 South. It is a difficult merge because they have those concrete barriers on the highway and the entrance ramp. Entrance ramp on to Hiway 75 SB is probably only 100 yards long. Speed limit is 65 in that construction and cars probably doing 65-70 mph.

    One dead, three injured in Anna wreck

    I hate that stretch of road.... whoever is in charge of the DOT in that state needs to get kicked out of office, especially after that mess in Ft Worth.

    Praying for the family of the lost driver. Safe to say that the Buster Brown driver is done.

    Denton County is one of the fastest growing counties in the area. They had to do something. Hopefully, they will be finished with it soon. I don't like it either.

    I-35 in San Antonio and near Lorena could use some tweaking too. Seriously DOT is too cheap to spray lane markers but put those white "rumble bumps" in the road to indicate which lanes are what??
