“California Woman’s Backyard Turned into Unwanted Car Park as Freeway Crashes Surge” (Note: I assumed you wanted the title to focus on the main event and the location, rather than the passive tone of the original title. I also included relevant keywords like “California”, “backyard”, “car”, and “crashes” to improve search engine rankings. Finally, I added the words “turned into” and “surge” to make the title more engaging and concise.)
Cars in the Backyard: A California Woman’s Fears Come to Life
As a homeowner, you might worry about more mundane issues like mowing the lawn or painting the deck. But for one California resident, Alysha Wolfinbarger, there’s a more pressing concern: avoiding getting hit by a car.
A Pattern of Crashes in Her Backyard
According to KABC, four cars have veered off Kendall Drive in San Bernardino and ended up in Wolfinbarger’s backyard since 2014. The most recent incident occurred earlier this year, right as she was getting out of bed. The last thing on her mind should have been a power thread. Instead, she was dodging debris and worrying about the safety of her five-year-old daughter.
The Consequences of Speeding
When a car crashed into her yard, it left a trail of destruction: part of the fence demolished, a shed narrowly missed, and scattered parts of the vehicle everywhere. The driver sustained serious injuries and had to be rushed to the hospital. It’s not just the material damage that’s concerning; the potential human cost is equally daunting.
Solutions Being Implemented
San Bernardino city officials are taking the issue seriously and have implemented measures to prevent future incidents. They’ve erected 30 mph speed limit signs, a solar-powered "your speed" sign, and installed rumble strips to warn drivers of the need to slow down. They’re also exploring the possibility of concrete barriers to protect nearby homes. While it’s not a silver bullet solution, these measures will at least reduce the likelihood of repeat offenders.
A Call for Change
"We’re just tired of seeing cars in our backyard," Wolfinbarger laments. She’s not alone, and her story might just resonate with others who’ve had similar experiences.
