Bud Dowden, a nearby resident, has spoken to WRIC addressing the crash that killed Kevin Bishop.

"It’s bad because people walk up the sidewalk as you can see. And if somebody could have been standing there and you know, I’m sorry to hear about the fella but you know, I’m scared it’s going to happen again. This road has become like a highway through here."

Dowden added that he had lived in the area for 16 years. He added,

"Something has to be done. Even the speed limit has to be cut. They need to put speed bumps. Because this is a residential area. We got children in here, we got school busses in here, we got people at park on the side road."
