I read the story and know exactly where the accident occurred. 2:30 AM straight up the ramp, through a stop sign and proceeded across route 2 into a guardrail.
Where this accident happened there is nothing the least bit dangerous for an alert driver paying attention. A properly designed ramp with a gradual incline leading to a stop sign.
I am going way out on a limb here but suspect this was a marathon type non-stop drive to get home, given the time of day. Folks around here do it all the time.
The fact you have to leave the highway is first advertised on lighted flashing billboards 20 miles south of the exit. Signs are more frequent as you approach and drivers are directed to the ramp by an orange barrel ally. The ramp is well lighted and it is clear from the signage that you are faced with a stop and a right hand turn at the top.
I described the detour route as a caution for folks that may be headed this way for the annual fall leaf colours pilgrimage. Maybe someone will read it and remember to drive accordingly.
