There were two other serious crashes in Erie over the weekend.
Earlier Sunday, an auto crashed on Erie Parkway and burst into flames. One person died. Another was seriously injured. "Preliminary information indicates the vehicle was traveling eastbound on Erie Parkway at an extremely high rate of speed, prior to crossing the median into the westbound lanes and striking a bridge guardrail," police said. On Friday night, a youth, age 15, riding a scooter was struck by an auto and seriously injured at Erie Parkway and Briggs Street. Police said: "Not all electrically motorized vehicles are permitted on public roadways. Many of these vehicles can reach significant speeds and may not offer the same protections as passenger vehicles. We encourage families to take time to understand local ordinances and safety requirements before allowing juveniles to operate any motorized vehicle."
