ihop brighton/soldiers field road
notoriously dangerous spot. very tragic.
I'd advocate
For jughandle lefts, but you can't really do that when you put the road right next to the drink.
Where did it say anything
Where did it say anything about a left turn?
It doesn't explicitly
but it does say that all lanes of Soldiers Field Road were closed, which wouldn't be necessary if this were a right-turn crash.
I see your point.
I see your point.
It could have been a right turn and debris spread as far as the opposite lanes (or that's where one of the cars ended up), but it might be more likely to have been a left turn.
RIP
Hope they had a lovely date night just before this happened.
