One of the straightest roads in the country. No excuses for this stoopid stuff. I live on an Eastern Oregon road just like that one. They are all long, straight, and boring, and city folks just don’t know how to handle them. We lose at least one a week on my stretch of road. Phones get most of them——look down to answer it and take out a Kenworth. Weekly——weekly—— guaranteed.

It’s 259 miles from my house to the next town of much. One has to stay focused and take rest stop breaks. And the roads are fast. As soon as I find the one Mountie that’s usually out there I open it up——and I don’t use a cell phone.

There is a section on that highway that goes totally straight for 18 miles. Just hills.

Search for head-on collisions in Oregon. You find there are a LOT of them.
