A crumpled guardrail along Rockrimmon Boulevard at its intersection with Vindicator Boulevard is being credited with savings neighbors from significant damage when a speeding motorist flew out of control and hit it. The guardrail, seen Aug. 19, 2014, was installed by Colorado Springs officials after Side Streets repeatedly reported the safety issue. Bill Vogrin / The Gazette
