Second fatal accident on this stretch of 220 in a week. Speeding is a large contributor. A more visible State Police presence would help.

The first fatal crash was not related to speed, as the vehicle in which the young person was killed with the third, in a line of four vehicles. Spatial reasoning and objects sticking off of the truck were the cause. This was reported by witnesses, of whom, there were several.

The first crash also happened almost directly in front of the State Police barracks at Laporte. Don’t get much more present than that.
