Denver neighbors say crashes along dangerous curve getting worse

Residents in one Denver neighborhood say that, despite updates in safety, crashes along a dangerous curve have been increasing.

A little over a week after three people were killed in a single-vehicle crash near East 56th Avenue and Potomac Street, neighbors say the stretch of road remains one of the most dangerous in Montbello. They've seen multiple fatal rollovers and cars losing control on the same curve for years.

"It's dead man's curve until somebody does something about it," said longtime resident Abe Gallegos, who has lived near the roadway for decades.

Gallegos says the curve along East 56th Avenue and the road itself has been the site of repeated accidents. Several memorials now line the roadside, each one marking a different crash.
