Greenfield says safety measures needed at fatal car crash corner
The Bensonhurst intersection where a 62-year-old grandmother was killed in a horrific car crash needs to be made safer by the city’s Department of Transportation (DOT), Councilman David Greenfield said.
“There’s no question traffic calming measures have to be put in there,” Greenfield said, referring to the corner of Quentin Road and West 5th Street, where a woman was killed and seven other people were injured in the Dec. 8 crash.
Chenugor Dao, who was standing on the sidewalk, was struck when the driver of one of the vehicles involved in the crash lost control of the car and plowed into a group of pedestrians. She was rushed to Lutheran Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead on arrival.
