No freeway barriers to save themCross-over crash kills 2. hurts 9 on parkway
By Richard Ruelas and Mary Jo Pitzi The Arizona Republic
The lack of freeway barriers that contributed to four crossover wrecks on Loop 10 1 last summer was a factor in two more deaths Friday in a grisly head-on crash on the Squaw Peak Parkway.
The accident comes on the heels of Gov. Jane Hull's announcement last summer that $18 million in cable barriers would be installed on Valley freeways.
But the barriers may not all be in place until this time next year.
In Friday's accident, an out-ofcontrol car flew across the freeway and into an oncoming car, mirroring the summertime accidents that prompted Hull to order median barriers.
A man and a boy in a Honda died when tread from one of the car's tires flew off, sending the car hurtling across the Squaw Peak
