Allegany County fatal-new details emerge

State Police say inexperience is the likely primary cause of a vehicle crash Saturday morning that killed four teenagers and injured a fifth in Allegany County. Four of the occupants were Dansville High School students. State Trooper Mark O’Donnell is the Troop E Public Information Officer. He told WHEC-TV that investigators have determined the vehicle was traveling at about 50 or 60 mph when it slammed into a tree. He said the brakes were never applied. O’Donnell added that distraction, speed and not being familiar with the area were contributing factors. Troopers said there was no evidence of alcohol or drug use. The crash happened at 4:30 in the morning.
