The crash on Wednesday killed 18-year-old , Ashton Evans.
“Was pretty torn up about it. It was hard seeing that in your front yard,” Ferry said. “It was such a weird mix of emotions and feelings.”
Damage on the scene shows where the 23-year-old driver went off the road, hitting a mailbox and smacking into a large tree, which sent the vehicle through the air.
“It’s terrible ... I don’t know why they always wreck into here, but it’s happened a lot,” Scott Harris said.
Harris said he’s tired of the dnager losing his mailbox.
“I’m going to say this is the fifth mailbox in six years,” he said.
