I’ve Never Seen Anything Like This’: 1 Killed, 2 Injured After Denny’s Sign Falls In Kentucky, Crushing Car
A Denny’s restaurant sign in Elizabethtown, Kentucky fell on a car during high winds Thursday, killing a woman and injuring her husband and daughter.
The sign fell from a pole near the Denny’s parking lot off of Interstate 65, crushing the car and causing a “catastrophic” head wound for the victim, Lillian Curtis, 72. Her husband, Lloyd Curtis, and daughter, Mary Graham, were also injured in the incident.
The family members were traveling home to Columbia from Louisville when they pulled off the highway, officials said.

Tall signs like that are such a trashy blight. Towns that have laws that signs have to be ground level are nice. Should be like that everywhere. Plus this lady would still be alive.
It's nice to look up and not see McDonalds and Burger King shite everywhere

Wow. The wind in Frankfort, 75ish minutes away was crazy but I couldn't imagine something like this happening. Horrible to hear.

Very windy that day. Denny’s is going to pay for that shitty sign.

Nothing compared to the body count from their food.

For frick's sake....someone post some more damn pups or even a cat. Hell, a funny raccoon would do, just as long as it doesn't involve murder or gruesome deaths.

When did these start to become popular, in the 70s? May be a lot of signs like this around the country past their design life that nobody is inspecting.

It is a very old sign. I am not surprised that this happened. That Denny’s is right off the exit to I65.

Letting that COVERED AND SMOTHERED get out of hand....

Crushing. Someone shoulda seen the signs.
Posted on 1/22/23 at 5:57 pm to idlewatcher
Yep, saw that on local news. We had some strong winds that day gusting up to 70mph. Tragic.

Heads up!

Tall signs are a blight on humanity. Hopefully now with smart phones and maps these eyesores can become obsolete

Totally Agree! You get off the interstate to take a break from the maddness and dangers only to be crushed by a sign that falls at the exact time you park your car there. What are the odds?

I've been thru that town on my way to Louisville. It sounded familiar.
