DUNMORE, LACKAWANNA COUNTY- Around 6:30 this morning someone discovered a car laying upside down in Little Roaring Brook Creek off of East Drinker Street in Dunmore. When emergency workers arrived they discovered two people dead inside the wreckage.

Investigators believe the car was traveling too fast when it failed to negotiate a sharp curve in the road just after 2:00 A.M. The car went down an embankment and wound up in the creek.

The crash happened near Anna Maria's Restaurant where Jeff Sileo works. "It's a dangerous turn here. There's always been problems with this turn. It looks like these guys didn't negotiate the turn from what I can see and usually it's a 35-mile-per-hour speed limit but nobody seems to observe that, so I have a feeling that's might of what happened."

Neighbor Bob Rosar agrees that people often drive too fast on this stretch of road. "It's a very bad spot.The traffic fliesby here and it's so bad at 4:30 in the afternoon you can't even get out of your driveway," said Rosar.

The 900 block of Drinker Street in Dunmore was closed between Flynn and Tigue Streets throughout the morning while police investigated the crash and removed the wreckage.
