Someone who claimed to be the resident who called police, stated that it wasn’t the first time that there has been a serious crash in the area.

“I am that alert resident. This is not the first time we’ve been woken up by a crash on that stretch of road. Sutton Police Department thanks for the quick response. Is there something you can do to slow people down there? Maybe add a sign warning of a dangerous curve? I’ve called 911 too many times. One of these times it could be a fatality.”
