Jeff Derushie, who lives just across from the scene, said he was waking up just after the crash and heard the firetrucks arriving.
As he planted his flowerbeds in his front lawn, Derushie explained the winding strip of road often has cars and motorcycles “flying down Burnhamthorpe” during the day and night since there is less traffic because of the lockdown.
“People call this the area the Burnhamthorpe Speedway,” said Derushie. “We hear it more and more anytime of the day.”
