NEWFANE, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities say a 25-year-old driver was speeding and texting before she hit and killed a 68-year-old bicyclist in western New York two weeks ago.
Niagara County Sheriff's deputies say Alicia Westgate of Newfane was charged Tuesday with speeding, texting, reckless driving and failure to use due care.
Investigators say Westgate had two children in her car when she ran into bicyclist Richard Webb on a rural road in the town of Newfane just after noon July 16.
A phone listing for Westgate couldn't be located. She's due in Newfane Town Court on Aug. 14.
