Dead Man's Curve, Amelia

Ohio · USA · Road

The site is a sharp and badly designed intersection near Amelia, Ohio, where a great many people lost their lives over the years. It was listed for a long time under Columbus, which a correction in April 2007 sorted out.

The story told locally concerns a car full of teenagers travelling at extreme speed that struck another vehicle. All of them were killed except one, a young man remembered as Rick.

What is described on the road is a figure walking with his thumb out, hitchhiking, and without a head. The claim that he has since caused a hundred deaths belongs to the legend rather than to any record.

What is documented is the curve itself, which was lethal enough to have earned the name honestly, and which is the reason the story took hold.
