Despite our daily desensitization to violence and carnage, not many folks have seen real car wreckage as horrifying as the mangled, black 1996 Camaro on the billboard visible from southbound I-35 near French Place, and if they have, most haven't lived to tell about it. It's a striking image, really, and even more striking when drivers realize that it's not just an image, it's the real thing. The Texas Department of Transportation put the car wreck right up on that billboard. The two young men involved survived, but only because they were buckled up. Wow. That message is loud and clear. The billboard was recently taken down and moved to Dallas.
