SOMERSET — A two-car collision at Lake and Hartland roads claimed the life of a 79-year-old man Tuesday morning.
According to the Niagara County Sheriff's Office, Francis Landers, a passenger in a full-size Ford van, was killed after the vehicle was struck on the passenger side door.
The van was driven by a 38-year-old home care aid that reportedly stopped for a stop sign while heading southbound on Hartland Road, and then entered traffic failing to yield the right of way to a Jeep SUV heading eastbound on Lake Road. The Jeep was occupied by a 66-year-old female operator alone in her vehicle.
