It could use a couple 5000-lb granite boulders placed out front as well.
Recently, a similar accident happened at Hart's Turkey as well as at other building collisions in N.H. Driving cars seem to cross the center line more now than in the past and one strong reason is the driver is paying attention to their smart phone and not to their driving.

Good post Less. Unfortunately the only way to stop this stupidity is to stop phone internet apps from working while moving.
