Collisions at busy intersections like Beattie Ave. & Lincoln Ave. are a concern in urban areas like Lockport. While the exact cause of Tuesday’s incident is still under investigation, common factors contributing to collisions in city environments include driver distractions, failure to yield, speeding, and poor road conditions.
In cases like this, the role of distracted driving cannot be overstated.
