SUMMARY: Changes are underway at a deadly intersection in Foley at Airport Road and County Road 65, long known for fatal crashes. Residents like Leslie Purdue describe it as one of the most dangerous spots, with multiple deaths including friends lost on this road. City records show eight fatalities last year alone. In response, Baldwin County is transferring the intersection’s ownership to the City of Foley, which plans to implement safety measures including a four-way stop, reducing the speed limit from 45 to 35 mph, and enhanced lighting. These improvements aim to prevent further tragedies and could begin within weeks.
