Security confirms that alcohol use was a “significant contributing factor” to a car accident this week. The incident occurred near the intersection of Library Road on Wilson Blvd. Security reports that the driver was an undergraduate student.
“Information collected at the scene disclosed the driver had apparently been at a non-disclosed fraternity house,” UR Security Investigator Dan Lafferty said.
Those at that location had apparently expressed concern for the student “due to alcohol related issues,” he said.
A witness said the vehicle was moving north on Wilson Blvd when it began weaving from side to side in the roadway, until it crossed the divide, struck a light pole and came to a rest.
Emergency responders transported the victim by ambulance to Strong Memorial Hospital Emergency Department for evaluation. Rochester Police, Fire and Gas and Electric persons all responded to the scene.
Police cited the driver for the accident.
Student aide apparently prevents bike larceny
An unidentified person was found riding an allegedly stolen bicycle in Dandelion Square Friday. The man, who was with two others, drove the bike into the stairs by the University Bookstore and left it on the walkway.
The three ran off laughing, security reports.
“As a security officer was collecting the bike for safekeeping, a student approached and identified the bike as his,” Lafferty said.
According to the victim, the bike was secured to the Wilson Commons bike rack. Security found the lock still on the rack.
Security returned the bike to the student.
