Family Considers Leaving Home After 5th Car Crash In 16 Months

After enduring their fifth car crash in 16 months at the intersection of Monaco Street Parkway and 17th Avenue, a Denver family is considering selling their home of 27 years. The most recent incident involved a car with three teenagers traveling at high speed on a Saturday night. Dave Stoll recounted the harrowing event, “A car… came straight down 17th, through the median, intersection, crashed through protective boulders and launched up into the house and yard here.” Stoll highlighted the ongoing safety concerns due to drivers not realizing the road veers left at night, leading to multiple crashes impacting their property. Despite efforts to engage city officials for safety improvements, the family is overwhelmed by the emotional toll and safety risks, prompting their decision to sell their long-time residence. (9news)
