Freeway Deaths
Whoa! Just a minute. Since when is it Caltrans’ responsibility to protect lawbreakers (“Mother Learns Her Boy Died Crossing I-5,” Aug. 17)?
It is a damn shame there have been so many killed while trying to bolt across the freeways in their attempt to avoid the checkpoints. But let’s put the blame where it belongs, and it is not Caltrans.
It is squarely on the people who are doing the running, and in this case the fault of the mother (sorry to say) who took six kids and tried to run across eight lanes of highway. Please don’t try to tell me she did not know it was dangerous.
