MarkyMannn Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 From the comments of the story: This was a horrific site after the Bills game. A black jeep, barreled into the side of the road at approximately 30-40 mph. We were about 70 yards away when we saw pedestrians, possibly 3-4 be tossed into the air like rag dolls. The driver appeared to lose control of his vehicle as he drove into the wrong side of the road and up onto the sidewalk. He did not stop or try to avoid the crowded streets, suggesting the driver was somehow impaired. Furthermore, two police squad cars were in pursuit, it was difficult to tell if he was coming from the game or this was a chase that was unrelated. He sped up down Southwestern Blvd, going towards West Seneca, where he was apprehended by two police patrol cars. As the accident took place, shrieks and cries came up from the crowded streets. Let's hope that these individuals are okay, however, at the speed he was going it will be a miracle. WIVB story
Luvbills Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 They also reported on channel two that a policeman was run over but appeared to not have any broken bones...where did this happen??
CodeMonkey Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 After seeing numerous times the amount of alcohol some people consume all day at a Bills game, what is surprising is that this does not happen more often.
CodeMonkey Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 They also reported on channel two that a policeman was run over but appeared to not have any broken bones...where did this happen?? The incident occurred shortly after the game ended on Southwestern Boulevard near California Road
Luvbills Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Thanks....hope everyone is ok.... What I truly don't understand is the selling of beer to obviously intoxicated people...

MarkyMannn Posted October 11, 2009 Author Posted October 11, 2009 More info from WKBW. Notice Texas plates Sheriff's officials tell Eyewitness News the incident started in the stadium parking lot after the game with security officials growing concerned about the behavior of some individuals in a Jeep with Texas plates. Officials say security staffers in a golf cart started following the Jeep. The driver of the Jeep then allegedly jumped a curb and hit the two pedestrians and the deputy. The two pedestrians took the brunt of the impact while the driver kept going. The Jeep also reportedly bounced off a bridge at California Road and was finally stopped on Southwestern Boulevard.
***PetrinoInAlbany*** Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Let's all say a prayer for three human beings who obviously didn't deserve what happened to them today.
Tcali Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Let's all say a prayer for three human beings who obviously didn't deserve what happened to them today. Amen. Hope the driver gets put away for 20 yrs.

I agree, as if the game wasn't bad enough for them to sit through. If I remember correctly when I was younger in the late 70's early 80's they sold beer the entire game, but after someone hit Chuck Foreman of the Vikings in the eye with a snowball, they quit selling it at halftime. Is that still the policy? I don't know if these people were Bills fans or not, but this has been a bad year for all involved with the Bills, owner, FO, players, coaches, fans, etc.
