"Engineer to analyze site of Logan County crash
Posted: Feb 20, 2008 04:27 PM
A highway department is trying to make sure a crash which killed four teens last week doesn't happen again on the same stretch of road.
The accident happened Friday night near Middletown in Logan County.
The Logan County Sheriff's Department says the teens were riding in a pickup truck that hit a tree at the bottom of a hill. Authorities still don't know why the truck left the road.
This week the highway department plans to go out to the crash site to see what can be improved to make the hill as safe as possible.
"We will be going out there to take a look at the roadway to analyze any safety hazards that may occur there on the roadway," said Logan County Highway Engineer Bret Aukamp. "We will be looking at sight distances, taking a look at any tree's that may be encroaching on the roadway."
Engineers say more signs may be added after the roadway assessment is done."
