AURORA — Residents who live near Columbia Drive and Dartmouth Avenue in Aurora say speeding in their neighborhood has reached a dangerous level.
The most recent incident happened on Sunday night when a driver crashed into Steve Robbins’ home, damaging three cars and two boats on his property.
“I was awake in the house and thought maybe a lightning bolt had struck very close,” Robbins recalled. “I’ve got two boats and three vehicles that were impacted this time.”
Joseph Wolpow This is not the first time Denver7 has spoken with Robbins . Last November, an Aurora police officer crashed into Robbins’s fence and camper during a high-speed chase.
At the time, Robbins urged the city to fix the dip in their street and add more signage and speed bumps. Robbins said he’s still dealing with the same problem one year later.
“Last time it was my camper,” he said. “This time, pretty much it’s everything I own.”
Robbins said he’s lived in the home since 1973 and has seen over a dozen incidents. Across the street, neighbor Joseph Wolpow said the crashes are getting worse.
