Could you tell me where LISA FORANDA is? She is not on the news lately. WHY.

Hiya Bobby and JW! Been far too long since I've been around.

Sure looks like a test video - those retaining walls run parallel to the highway, NOT across them, and you'd have to be pretty drunk, stupid, or both to drive full tilt into one. Or a TXDOT employee! Har-de-har-har!

I had a co-worker many years ago that died when she lost control of her car and slammed into one...they do indeed work. Notice this is a full-size monster of a construction vehicle...small cars and these things DO make a mess. Used to be a medic, and got many calls like this over the years. Unfortunately.

Where did Lisa Foranda go? Is she still in broadcasting and if so where? Station made a big mistake letting her go. She was great!
