Utah County road crew paints center stripe right over roadkill
(Photo courtesy Cedar Hills) A Utah County road crew striped over what appears to be a dead raccoon in the middle of the road. In Utah County, the road-striping crews don’t stop for anybody or anything … including roadkill.
An unidentified crew was working on Canyon Road through Cedar Hills last week, putting a second coat on the double-yellow line down the middle of the street, when they painted right over what appears to be a dead raccoon.
And, no, it’s not a faked photograph. “It is for real,” said Cedar Hills Mayor Jenney Rees. “A resident shared that photo, and I drove out there to check for myself.”
