When Your Number is Called up Yonder..
I came across the following article in the Rochester, NY newspaper today:
January 27, 2007 3:34 pm — A Wolcott man died Friday after exiting his car after a head-on collision and collapsing on East Port Bay Road, in Wolcott.John C. Betts, 64, was struck as he laid in the southbound lane, at about 9:24 p.m. Friday, by a car driven by Dylan T. Schute, 18 of North Rose, authorities said.
Moments earlier Betts, traveling northbound, had crashed head-on with Kevin S. Laparta, 44, of Savannah, who was traveling in the southbound lane.Schute, traveling northbound towards the accident scene, veered left into the southbound lane to avoid the Betts' car. In doing so, he struck Betts, state police report.
Laparta was flown to Strong Memorial Hospital where he underwent surgery for a fractured leg sustained in the accident.State police Investigator Andrew Jasic today said police are still investigating which accident most likely caused Betts' death. They are also reconstructing the scene to determine which driver veered into the opposite lane causing the initial head-on collision. Charges have not been ruled out.
Jasic said police are also awaiting the completion of an autopsy, which is scheduled for early next week.
Man oh man, that's a tough way to go!
