A retired New York State trooper was killed Friday after the motorcycle he was driving was struck by another vehicle on Union Road near William Street in Cheektowaga.
Robert Binns, 52, died of injuries he sustained after being thrown about 20 feet from his motorcycle, Cheektowaga Police Captain John A. Glascott confirmed Sunday.
Binns was struck by a vehicle driven by 18-year-old Jeffrey Kolacki, Glascott said.
“A car stopped to let [Kolacki] make a left-hand turn into a gas station,” the captain said. “The motorcyclist never had a prayer.”
Kolacki has been cited with failure to yield the right of way, Glascott said.
