Highway 70

Texas · USA · Cemetery

The stretch between Matador and Paducah has killed a great many people, and the nearest hospital is over eighty miles away.

The original account for this stretch of Texas highway is honest that much of it is unconfirmed, and then says something that is not folklore at all.

Highway 70 between Matador and Paducah has a long record of fatal accidents. The nearest hospital is more than eighty miles off, and people who might have survived a crash do not, because of how long it takes to reach them.

That is the whole tragedy of rural emergency medicine in the American west stated in one sentence, and it is why this entry is worth keeping.

Drivers describe a complete sense of dread going through at night, and some report what appears on the road.

This is high plains country with almost nothing between the two towns: no lights, no towns, no phone signal in places, and cattle that get out onto the road.

It is a public highway and it deserves respect.
