Fatal accident draws police scrutiny in Richton Park
Residents on Poplar avenue complained to the Richton Park village board about police procedures after a motorcycle crash Saturday at the Poplar Andover Clark intersection. Allen Arcand said a police followup test involved high speed maneuvers with bystanders present and questioned street cleanliness and timing of blood cleanup. Chief William Burke defended the test as a traffic study from training and promised a full report after the board discussion. The mayor and trustees urged contacting village manager for formal steps and noted unincorporated area teen misconduct on the opposite side of the street.
