Joe Gallagher+FollowDead Man’s Curve: Birmingham’s riskiest turn?Every Birmingham driver knows the legend of Dead Man’s Curve—a sharp, elevated turn on I-20 West near the airport that’s notorious for flipping trucks and causing major traffic headaches. Despite new rumble strips, flashing signs, and slower speed limits, crashes still happen, especially to out-of-town truckers unfamiliar with the curve’s bite. The real kicker?
