Hit-and-Run Boat Crash at Bemus Point

A Springville teenager is facing charges following a hit-and-run boat accident in the Bemus Point area.

19-year-old Peter Saunders is charged with leaving the scene of a boat accident that happened on July 17.

Chautauqua County Sheriff’s deputies say the accident happened when a 23-foot recreational vessel hit a 73-foot public vessel. The operator of the smaller boat left the scene and didn’t report the accident.

Deputies say that after a lengthy investigation by members of their Marine Division, and with help from several witnesses, they were able to identify Saunders, who will appear in Town of Ellery Court at a later date.
