‘We’re just tired of seeing cars in our backyard’: San Bernardino woman warns of dangerous road

A San Bernardino woman is sounding the alarm about what she says is a dangerous road right behind her backyard.

Alysha Wolfinbarger has lived in her home right behind Kendall Drive for close to a decade. She said in that time, four cars had lost control and ended up in her backyard.

“It’s a little scary honestly,” Wolfinbarger said. “It’s not something people usually think about — having cars fly into your backyard.”

Wolfinbarger said the most recent incident happened about a month ago.

“I was barely getting up. My alarm just went off and I heard a big boom,” she recalled. “And at first, I thought maybe it was part of a dream.”

But when police showed up, and she saw first responders arrive to transport the driver of the car to the hospital to be treated for injuries, she realized it was no dream.

“They ended up having to lift it (the car) out over our back wall and back fence to get it out of our backyard,” she said.

Wolfinbarger said the cars heading southbound on Kendall Drive are the problem. If they’re going too fast, they can lose control in a sharp curve and go careening off the road . She said she’s so worried that she sometimes hesitates to allow her 5-year-old daughter to play in the backyard.
