A road blessing and a poster idea

That accident prone stretch of road here was blessed today by our parish priest. I passed the procession on my way home today. The procession included two carossas, one with the statue of the Blessed Mother (it's Our Mother of Perpetual Help on Wednesdays here) and one with the statue of our patron saint, St. Therese of the Child Jesus.

I suppose people think the place is cursed or haunted and I have indeed heard stories of people seeing strange things along that road. Whether those accidents are caused by ghostly sightings or not, I still think people should observe the speed limit and traffic rules. Anyway, if one suddenly sees a ghost while driving along that road during the lonely hours but is driving reasonably within the 50kph speed limit, a collision with a tree at that speed probably wouldn't be as horrific as those of the fatal accidents in the past.

By the way, the car wreck has been moved to a spot across from the police precinct here. That's always where they've kept car wrecks temporarily in the past--I suppose while investigation on the car accident is ongoing. Anyway, the accident seems much worse now that you can see the driver's side of the car. It's one horrific mangled mess of metal and glass with the roof practically smashed in on the driver's side. I now think the car rolled and hit the tree while on its side. Tsk tsk. I feel like taking a picture of the wreck before it is taken away and using the picture some kind of poster that I'll put up all over in campus: "Let this be a lesson to drivers everywhere: Don't drink and drive. Always observe the speed limit and traffic rules."
