On August 9, 2010, a fiery collision took place here, a few miles south of Bishop, California on US 395. Three people died at the scene of the accident and another died later in the hospital. This memorial is on the shoulder of the northbound lanes.

I photographed this two months after the accident. It was still easy to see the damaged asphalt where a vehicle burned and the numerous painted markings on the pavement that identified the position of vehicles and parts of vehicles. Based on what I read about it, the accident was horrific.
