Residents want action after double-fatal crash in Miamisburg

People living in the Miamisburg neighborhood where two women were killed in a crash over the weekend are calling for action after they said people are constantly speeding.

“People abuse this street terribly, they’re supposed to do 25 miles an hour and they do between 30, 35 and 40 miles an hour,” said Mike Sopronyi, who lives in the neighborhood, where two women were killed in a crash on King Richard Parkway Saturday morning.

According to a police report, Carol Pressel, 27, of West Carrolton was driving her vehicle at unsafe speeds without a seatbelt on when she crashed into a tree on the corner of King Richard Parkway and Merry John Drive around 2:15 a.m.

Pressel’s passenger, Courtney Cole, 23, of West Carrollton also was killed in the crash.

Residents in the neighborhood said they have reached out to the city before about the speeding issue, but said their complaints still haven’t been addressed.

“They need to have radar set up here constantly.  I spoke to the mayor, the mayor says he’s going to take care of this problem and the problem still hasn’t been taken care of,” Sopronyi said.

Helen Mullins, of Miamisburg, said she won’t even let her grandson play in the front yard, because of the speeders.

“It’s scary,” Mullins said.

News Center 7’s Caroline Reinwald reached out to the city to ask if they do indeed see problems with speeding in the neighborhood, however we haven’t heard back yet.
