Ashley Sokolosky told the Dearborn City Council that three separate vehicle crashes have struck in front of her Cleveland Street home.

Sokolosky described how reckless drivers hit her family's parked car and camper in the incidents, as CBS News Detroit reported in its original report. Her husband was undergoing surgery after being injured by a reckless driver, her mother told CBS News Detroit.

"I am deeply concerned about the safety of our streets and the lack of accountability for the reckless driving," Sokolosky said at the meeting, according to the Patch account.

She was not alone.

Other neighbors told CBS News Detroit about speeding vehicles and the safety of children playing outside.

Council President Michael Sareini said the city has increased traffic enforcement and installed speed humps and flashing stop signs to address dangerous driving, according to the CBS report. The city's 2025 annual report said police issued more traffic citations than ever before during the fiscal year.

The complaints follow years of city efforts to curb reckless driving. More than a year before the latest council testimony, Mayor Abdullah Hammoud and Police Chief Issa Shahin sent letters to all local driving schools in March 2025, urging them to follow regulations. Shahin cited reports that some schools may have been certifying students who had not completed required coursework, according to a city press release.

That same month, the city announced the return of the 19th District Court's traffic school program. Judges can require drivers appearing in court for infractions to take driver improvement classes in addition to paying fines and court costs.

The city's annual report noted that Dearborn used millions from Michigan State Police and public health grants to install hundreds of traffic calming devices, including speed humps, signs and monitors, across the city.

In August 2024, when the Dearborn Police Department released year-to-date crime statistics, Shahin noted that vehicular crashes remained consistent even as other crime categories dropped. "The consistency of vehicle crashes and reckless driving incidents is staggering," Shahin said at the time.
