Olcott, NY- On July 3, 2014 at approximately 2157 hrs, a 911 wireless call was received by the Niagara County 911 Communications Center from a male reporting that his boat was sinking on Lake Ontario. The boat, a 20 foot 1987 Sport Craft was occupied by six passengers at the time of the call. Emergency Dispatchers from the 911 Center were able to verify the location of the source through technology and directed nearby patrols to the location of the sinking boat. Moments later at 2200 hrs, a road patrol unit was able to locate the sinking boat approximately 150 feet off shore directly north of 5595 West Bluff.  A spotlight was used to keep a visual on the sinking boat and all six occupants until a Niagara County Sheriff's Marine Unit arrived in a successful rescue. As the last of six occupants were assisted from the distressed boat, it was completely submerged by water and capsized.

With backyard parties, cookouts and fireworks, the July 4th holiday is a favorite time of year for many Americans. But the celebrating can turn deadly when people drive after drinking alcohol.  

“Impaired driving can turn celebrations into tragedy in an instant,” said Monica Farrar, director of The Resource Training Center Drinking Driver Program. “With July 4th approaching, we’re reminding people of the cost of impaired driving. In 2012, 179 people were killed in crashes over this holiday period. Of those deaths, 44 percent were in crashes that involved alcohol.
