Highway 160 is the main highway in this area. I believe it’s also one of the most dangerous roads in Alabama. There have been some horrible wrecks on 160.On average, I’d guess a wreck every ten days or so occurs on 160.The thing is, it’s pretty straight.So, since it’s straight, people go 70 on it,…
