We have all seen the white crosses on the side of the road with someone's name on it. Presumably the spot where someone was killed in a car accident.

I have came across 2 of them in central Ohio that I don't get. The first one I seen westbound on 70 at mile 116. East of Columbus. The same one just popped up on 70 eastbound at around mile 91. West of Columbus. Just in case anyone wants to keep an eye out.

They are a nice hefty white cross with 3" or 4" black letters like you use on your house or mailbox. The thing is they just say 'YOU.' Freaks the crap out of me.

What kind of message is someone trying to send and have these been seen anywhere else?

"This could be YOU" ?

I'd say its a scare tactic against drunk driving.

I think they are only for you. No one else has seen any.

It's just a sick joke.  Probably by someone annoyed by those roadside memorials.

Actually, they are put there by God himself. He is hoping that you look at them, get distracted and crash. I guess it just hasen't worked yet.
