A pair of luxury sports cars -- a 2007 Lotus Elise and a 2008 Lotus Elise California -- were involved in an accident at about 9:20 a.m. on Colby Road, Corfu, at the railroad crossing.
One of the drivers, from Clarence, said the Lotus doesn't have great clearance for going over railroad tracks so he slowed to go over the tracks and the driver behind him, from West Seneca, didn't notice him slow. The red car rear-ended the orange car, driving it off the road and into a utility pole.
The driver said, "I'm not upset by it. Accidents will happen."
He figures insurance will cover the damage and nobody was hurt, and that's what really matters.
The two drivers, along with a third Lotus owner in the caravan, were on their way to Watkins Glen for a rally.
