Description
It was May 21, 1999, and I was photographing and recording roadside religious art along Mexico's Highway 15 between Santa Ana and Hermosillo in Sonora. It was a hot day in the middle of one of the region's periodic droughts, and after photographing one of the many crosses marking fatal accidents, I chatted with a young man who was cutting grass by the road for his horse. I explained what we were doing and why, and remarked that a lot of people had died along that stretch of road. "Yes," he replied, "My grandmother told me that when she was a little girl a big black snake came to Sonora and started eating the people. And it was the highway." (1) SUDDEN DEATH ON THE ROAD
