Charge Studied Against Driver In Fatal Crash
Amherst police may charge James Nagy with failure to yield the right of way after an eye witness described a collision that killed musician Edward Kiefer. The witness, Larry Payne, said Kiefer’s eastbound car and Nagy’s southbound Ford collided at a blinking signal intersection on Route 58 near North Ridge Road. Payne, a sophomore at Amherst High, gave a signed statement stating Nagy’s car approached fast while Kiefer’s was slow, causing a fatal crash. Further action depends on the county prosecutor’s review.
