The stretch of the road where Tommy was hit is a very bad stretch of the road. It is the first straight portion of the road after a long stretch of curves. This is why drivers try passing cars (and gringos on bikes) in this area. This would be bad enough but it is also a small village. The people of this village have wanted speed bumps installed for a long time. Shortly after Tom was killed they held a protest, although the protest was small it was a call to the officials to do something.
After Tom died we wrote to the officials asking that the speed bumps be installed so that the loss of his life could help this village. I am very please to share this photo that shows that the speed bumps have been installed. Hopefully Tom will be the last to lose his life on this stretch of the road.
