Two things in this video go against what you will read almost everywhere else, so here they are in<br>writing.<br><br>The first: Blood Alley. That twenty-eight mile stretch of Route 21 earned its name honestly, on a<br>narrow two-lane road with blind entrances carrying far more traffic than it was built for. But the<br>state rebuilt it. The corridor was rerouted to freeway standard from Route 141 down to Highway B, and<br>the final twenty-five million dollar section opened on the 15th of December 2008. When somebody tells<br>you today that Blood Alley is the deadliest road in Missouri, they are describing a road that was<br>replaced.<br><br>The second: Highway 7. The fatal crash cluster that gets quoted for Highway 7 is around Bismarck, in<br>the south of Arkansas. That is the Ouachitas, a different mountain range. Using those deaths to<br>describe the Ozark stretch is simply wrong, and I would rather say so than borrow the number.<br><br>And the figure I want you to keep: in 2015, flooding killed twenty-seven people in Missouri, and<br>twenty-three of them were in a vehicle. Six inches of moving water takes your control. Two feet floats<br>your truck. Turn around.<br><br>If you live out here and I got something wrong, say so below. I read all of it.
