Ironic that we have just been talking about the museum in the "King Richard" post. If memory serves, thre wasn't a lot of distance from the highway to the museum.

The museum is about 40 feet off the highway and the only thing between the highway and the museum last time i was there was the curb and a little pipe-like railing. It would be easy to hit the curb and bounce over and hit the building. My heart goes out to that family..
