We Follow Through: Neighbors push for safety measures after deadly Colley Ave. crash
After a man was hit and killed by a car on Colley Avenue, Highland Park neighbors want change. Leo LaRue was hit by a car while walking his dogs on Colley just two days before Thanksgiving.
News 3 first spoke to LaRue's loved ones the day after his passing last week. They told us they want more safety measures on Colley to prevent further tragedies. One friend told us, "Maybe it’s time for a flashing red light there... People come light a jet airplane over that bridge…”
Yesterday, we checked with police on the status of the investigation. They told us they're still investigating, and once they're done, the findings will be turned over to the Commonwealth Attorney’s Office for review.
We also spoke with another person who knew LaRue and wants changes made, particularly ones that address the street's lighting.
