Colton demands DOT investigate fatal Bensonhurst crashes
Alarmed by fatal car crashes on Bensonhurst streets in recent months, Assemblymember William Colton is demanding that the Department of Transportation (DOT) come into the Southwest Brooklyn neighborhood to determine why the deadly incidents are happening.
