So someone died because a rock flew the window? And this is news?

100million to save 12 people a year? Hardly worth it IMO.

Unless you're one of the 12 people or their families. How much would you pay to get someone you love back or to have prevented their death to begin with?

No, someone died because a section of improperly kept roadway flew through the window. RIF.

Though I have to admit that the sections of Highway 20, that I've been on, didn't seem to be in too bad a state of repair. Perhaps I didn't stray far enough from Birmingham? Then again, I'm used to driving on roads that get a heavy freeze/thaw cycle every year.

Lots of people die in all sorts of crazy ass ways. It's unfortunate, but we aren't going to end it by hurling money and laws at our lives.
