James Dean's roadside memorial

We went to a roadside memorial built to commemorate the 24 year old actor James Dean.  He was killed in a fatal collision in 1955 in Cholame, California, just off the I-46.  Dean was driving a Porsche when a car driven by a Cal Poly student, Donald Turnupseed he made an illegal turn in front of him.  23 year old
Turnupseed, was dazed but mostly uninjured; Dean’s passenger, German Porsche mechanic Rolf Wütherich was badly injured but survived.
