Suicide Alley Victim
A section of Route 6, the highway that takes our visitors from Bourne to Provincetown, also has another name: "Suicide Alley." The stretch from Dennis to Orleans, in particular (exits 9 to 12), is hazardous because the highway narrows to two lanes. From 1970 to 1989, 36 people were killed in highway accidents on this 12.8 mile stretch, most involving head-on collisions.
The tragedy that put "Suicide Alley" into the spotlight was a head-on crash that killed a young mother and her two children. On April 18, 1989, a Brewster woman, Lois Ann Scholomiti, and her children, Lauren and Nicholas, died in Brewster when their eastbound station wagon veered into the oncoming lane and collided head-on with a truck. It was this tragedy that fueled plans to make "Suicide Alley" safer for drivers. The improvements completed in 1991 included installation of a 3-foot-wide berm and reflectors along the center line, road-widening and elimination of all passing.
Then, in August 29, 1998, Kathleen ‘Kay' Bader, retired head librarian at Snow Library in Orleans, died in a crash along this same dangerous ribbon of road. She was between Exits 10 and 11 in East Harwich at the time of the accident. More recently, Angela Champ, a 19-year-old Harwich woman died when her 1996 Toyota Corolla crossed the center line and collided with a 2004 Chrysler minivan on the highway near the Orleans town line. Although the minivan flipped as a result of the accident, the elderly occupants were treated for injuries that weren't considered life-threatening.
If you plan to travel down-Cape this summer, slow down as you drive along the "Suicide Alley" stretch, turn on your headlights, and reflect on the people who lost their lives here.
