Wild Crash in Dunkirk
A Dunkirk man somehow managed to escape serious injury in a wild accident at 11 o'clock this morning in Dunkirk.
In an e-mail sent to WESB and The HERO, Chautauqua County Sheriff’s deputies say a vehicle driven by 45-year-old Richard Kendorski was traveling west on Route 5 when, for unknown reasons, it veered into the eastbound lane, then went into the drainage ditch and front lawns of some houses. The vehicle then went airborne and flew between vehicles parked in the A.W. Farrell Roofing Company parking lot.
One of the vehicles was occupied by a 79-year-old man who witnessed the incident. The other parked vehicle was hit by the airborne Kendorski vehicle. The impact caused extensive damage to the right side of the parked vehicle and to the right side of the Kendorski vehicle.
The out of control vehicle continued through the parking lot narrowly missing a fence, a sign and another parked vehicle. The heavily damaged vehicle re-entered the road and sideswiped a tractor-trailer.
Kendorski's vehicle finally came to rest facing southwest in the eastbound lane of traffic. The tractor-trailer operated by Marc Butts of Lockport had damage to its side, axle, wheels, hub caps and tires.
Kendorski refused medical treatment.
The investigation is continuing.
