Crackdown At Limo Crash Site Leads to Six Violations: Police

CUTCHOGUE, NY — A crackdown on limos and buses at the scene of last year's fatal limo crash on Depot Lane and Route 48 in Cutchogue Saturday led to six violations, police said.

A checkpoint was set up for buses and limos from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. by Southold Town Police and Suffolk County Police's motor carrier safety unit, police said.

During the course of the checkpoint operation, 15 traffic stops were conducted with seven Level-1 inspections, meaning the vehicles were brought into the checkpoint for complete inspection, police said.

Six violations were noted on inspection reports, and five CVSA stickers, or "Good Guy" stickers for a good safety inspection, were issued; no vehicles were placed out of service, police said.

This enforcement is part of an ongoing combined effort to ensure the safe transport of passengers to local attractions on the North Fork, police said.
