Overnight, Gasport Road was drifted over with snow. The Niagara County Sheriff's Department responded to two cars in the ditch there. While the officer was in his car on the side of the road, filling out his paperwork with lights a-blazing, his vehicle was struck from behind! A young girl rammed her car into his, demolishing her car and greatly damaging the cruiser's backend.
This is the second time in as many days that a young, inexperienced driver has caused an accident resulting in damage that WE must foot the bill for. The power outage accident on Friday was caused - just as this one - by young kids driving way too fast for the snowy road conditions.
Parents...have a talk with your kids about how to drive in the snow. So far, no one has died in Gasport because of it this year. But, look at the damage. And, look at what happened to the Wilson High School Senior two weeks ago who was driving too fast on Lake Road, crossed the center line and died. No one deserves a tragedy like that, a tragedy that can be averted with some sound advice.
