[Az-Geocaching] Sad story.

[Brian Casteel]

Oh, ok.  So it was north of the Gilbert intersection then.  I thought I read
an article on azfamily that it was MP184, and our section is 182-183.
Thanks for the confirmation.

I passed by the scene within 10 minutes of the accident (after police 
arrived), and I can tell you that it was not along our section of highway. 
It was just past the dump and the trap & skeet place, before the first canal

crossing (~ 2 miles north of Gilbert Rd).  There were no barriers or 
construction in that section of the road.
