A house on Cleveland Road was seriously damaged after a driver failed to negotiate the sharp bend in the roadway.
The accident occurred at 5:21 p.m., Sunday.
The house, at 2047 Cleveland Road, suffered a cracked foundation, cracked walls and extensive interior damage.
The driver, James C. Emerson, 48, of State Street, Batavia, complained of injuries but was not transported to a hospital.
No citations are reported on the investigation report by Deputy Patrick Reeves.
Emerson told Reeves that he wasn't expecting Cleveland Road to suddenly have a turn where it did.

"Emerson told Reeves that he wasn't expecting Cleveland Road to suddenly have a turn where it did." I got my driver's license in 1975, and that curve had been there for a long time back then.

I know the first time I drove on Cleveland Road, that curve caught me by surprise.
I stayed in my lane, but, still, there is something about it that you're just not expecting it if you don't know the road.

And this is why I would not choose to live in a house at the end of a road like this.
Don't they have road signs in
Don't they have road signs in Western New York anymore? That 90 degree arrow means a 90 degree turn lies ahead.
If there is no sign something is really wrong about that. In my part of Texas this house would have some huge rocks in the front yard that could not be avoided by a bad driver. We've got to do something with them, they are everywhere you try to dig a hole.
I agree with the rocks . but
I agree with the rocks . but in this state the prperty owner would be held liable for creating a road hazard. we can thank lawsuits for that.
