Police received a call that there was an SUV that had gotten stuck against the guard rail in the restaurant’s parking lot, which is located at the hairpin turn on Route 2. Witnesses told police Wright was stuck real good against the rail and had been trying to rock his car free, it was then the rocking may have been too much and the SUV took off.

The Berkshire Eagle reports that John Moore the owner of the Golden Eagle restaurant which sits right at the hairpin curve said,

He often watches cars drive by too fast on the hairpin turn, treating it like a highway.
“I’ve seen a lot of accidents, So many, in fact, at night he puts up barrels and cones in the entrance of his parking lot, which abuts the road, to prevent people from driving off the road. They come flying in the driveway at night.
