A Lower Towamensing Township woman has pleaded with township officials to curtail speeding on a dangerous road where four teenagers were killed several weeks ago.

Resident Agnes Oceanak, of 1750 Dairy Road, implored the township's board of supervisors on Monday to come up with some means of safety to slow vehicles down that travel the road at high rates of speed.On Dec. 19, four teenagers were killed in a fiery two-car crash on Dairy Road.Killed were Michael Muniz, 17, of Palmerton; Austin T. Hunsicker, 16, of Bowmanstown; Nathaniel Murray, 16, of Palmerton, and his sister, Courtney Anne Murray, 13, of Palmerton.The crash also injured Stacy Peddigree, 18, of Lehighton, the driver, and passenger Tim Shiner, 22, of Palmerton.Oceanak told supervisors that "youngsters speed along (Dairy Road) like it's a racetrack."Oceanak then suggested speed bumps or lowering the speed limit as possible deterrents to slow drivers down.Township solicitor Jim Nanovic said that while the township cannot put speed bumps in, it could put up "children at play" signs.Oceanak told the board that she did visit state police and asked them to be more of a presence at the site to help prevent any further fatalities.Supervisors Chairman Brent Green said the township has looked at some options.A check of the road shows it shouldn't be a hazard as long as the posted speed limits are followed, Supervisor Ron Walbert said."The road is in very good shape, and the signage posted is at a very good speed," Walbert said. "It was just a very, very tragic incident."The speed limit on the milelong road is 25 mph in some places and 35 mph in others.Oceanak asked whether police can do any more in that area. She said the police seem to have more of a regular presence in the area since the crash.Walbert said he wouldn't object to the possibility of more signs."I just don't want to see any more children killed," Oceanak said. "Or anyone else."State police at Lehighton say speed was a factor in the crash, which occurred when a 2001 Chevrolet Cavalier driven by Muniz was traveling in the westbound lane.The car went into the eastbound lane, hitting a 1996 Buick Skylark driven by Peddigree, and then overturned into a tree and caught fire, police said.Muniz was thrown from the car and pronounced dead at the scene, police said.The Buick also overturned and caught fire, but both Peddigree and Shiner were able to get out of the car.The state police Crash Accident Reconstruction Specialist unit is assisting with the investigation.An account has been opened at the First Northern Bank & Trust in Palmerton.The account is named Accident Victims Memorial Fund.The fund is set up for all the families involved in the tragedy.Donations will be used for expenses for the families.
