Why does this stretch of highway claim more vehicles than mechanical failure should account for, and what's behind those roadside markers that don't match any official mile posts? Which abandoned cars show signs of hasty evacuation despite no record of accidents, and why do emergency services avoid responding to calls from this particular route? What's buried beneath the asphalt where the road curves around that unmarked hill?

He looked back and saw the black car following them. He turned up to the driver and said - “You really need to press your foot on that pedal”. The driver nodded and shifted the gear. The car moved like crazy while overtaking all the other cars in the street. Suddenly a loud shattering noise rang out - the rear window was gone. “They are shooting at us - we need to move, now!”. The driver had some more tricks up his sleeve. He slammed on the handbrake and the car started to slow. “What are you doing? Are you crazy?” - the passenger yelled. The driver began to laugh as he let go of the handbrake. The car drifted around the curb, and with a sudden change of course, they had lost their pursuers in the narrow streets of the city. “We are safe… For now…” - he said as he continued laughing like a maniac.
