So this really sucks: In Montgomery County yesterday evening, a guy checking out a sign advertising cheap gas caused a crash that killed another driver. The accident happened at around 5:30 p.m. at FM 3083 and Jefferson Chemical Road near Conroe, where the driver of a Ford Escort saw the gas prices at a Quick Stop station. He made a sudden left turn — presumably not out of the left lane — causing a driver to his left to crash into his car, killing a female passenger in his car and injuring four other people.

(Which means neither the restraints nor the guard were doing their jobs very well, we suppose.)
