Howard community urges closing of dangerous highway ramp

Published September 3, 2008 4:00am ET



A dangerous exit ramp in Howard County where Andrew Noel, 19, died in a motorcycle crash in July should be closed until changes are made, community members told The Examiner.

“Any time a child dies, it angers a lot of people,” said Noel’s mother, Valerie Noel of Ellicott City. “This just isn’t about my son, it’s about everyone who drives here. There’s a unanimous feeling that it’s a death trap.”
