I think Blow Horn corner at Routes 82 and 841 must be jinxed. Only a few weeks after the beloved "Blow Horn" sign was repainted, the old stone mill was badly damaged by an oversized rig at 3:45 p.m. Monday. The driver, who pulled over just north of the scene, told me he heard a loud noise but didn't realize he had hit the building until he walked back and saw one of his truck's orange warning flags stuck to the stone. The crash left a pile of large rocks and rubble and a crumpled stop sign along the shoulder of Route 82.
I'm told that the rig, which was hauling a giant hydraulic press for making construction beams, is the same one that had been pulled over by the state police just outside of Unionville late that morning. As the driver told me, "Nothin' but trouble, this load!"
