ITEM02/9 Photos: Hazards and Property Comparisons In addition to the dangerous destruction of my property, the first wreck also almost went through the neighbor's home where his daughter was sleeping. This was a drunk driver and law enforcement deciphered that no brakes were applied. The driver fled the scene leaving homeowner’s insurance to pay for damages. ITEM02/10 ITEM02/11 Damage with the 12’ fence was less. The brakes went out on this truck and it continued to accelerate from highway speeds on the downward slope of the exit ramp my lot was split to create. Property damages were $37,000 of which the driver’s insurance may pay $27,000 . ITEM02/12 ITEM02/13 ITEM02/14 Debris collected in the backyard over the course of 5 days (June 12-16) with a 6-8 foot temporary fence. These objects enter my property at a velocity of highway speeds. I have replaced the windows of the back of my house three times and currently keep a set of backup windows on hand. Only debris deemed hazardous is displayed for efficiency. All other objects such as soft trash have been eliminated/not collected because the photos would be too extensive. At this time with the fence partially removed from the last wreck, I do not use the backyard of my property for myself or dogs out of fear of injury or death. One of the objects in the first photo is a railroad tie. Other objects include glass, including alcohol bottles,car and other machinery parts and construction debris and occasionally toys.

The wall built by the DOT measuring 15’ in some places protects this property from 3 angles, circled in yellow. This property owner also suffered from repeat vehicles damaging the property before the wall was built. ITEM02/21 ITEM02/22 The next property is even closer to me, on the other side of MoPac with a similar juxtaposition to the highway, at the northbound Westover exit ramp. 1709 Westover has property without a dissected lot, but is also completely protected by the 15’ DOT wall circled in yellow.
