This view of the Highways 61-25 intersection at Jackson reveals a "hurry up" scene. The car turning to the right was in a big hurry and left his tell-tale skid mark, while the car turning off Highway 25 at the left did not make a full stop before entering the eastbound lane of Highway 61. During the day several citations were issued after violations had been spotted from the air and relayed to Patrol cars.

Jackson High School is at the top of the photo. A Cities Service station is at left, later site of a Rhodes station and then Rally's Drive-In.
