Dale’s Briefs – Tuesday, October 11th

Word coming this morning that Terrell Owens was treated for a prescription drug overdose in Los Angeles last week. He’s been released since then but apparently he was taking pain killers while recovering from surgery on a torn ACL. It’s not his first bout with an overdose. He was treated for an overdose in 2006 in what some say was a suicide attempt – but he denies it.[audio:http://wyrk.com/files/2011/10/201110110731331.mp3|titles=Dale's Briefs]

Niagara Falls Blvd. in Wheatfield was shut down for more than an hour early this morning after a driver fell asleep at the wheel and sheared off a pole near Errick Road. The 24-year old driver was taken for treatment of just minor injuries.

A crash in Marilla sent two vehicles into a corner house yesterday morning. One of the cars began to burn and it was the work of a sheriff’s deputy and a nearby resident who pulled one of the drivers from the burning car. 19-year old Kaitlin Boyce was ticketed for failing to stop at a stop sign at Eastwood and Bullis Roads.

The body of a young man in his late teens to early 20’s was found around noontime yesterday along the banks of Cayuga Creek near Harlem and Clinton at the West Seneca – Cheektowaga border. The description matches a person missing since Friday in Depew. Police are calling the death suspicious.

Niagara Parks Police are looking to identify the body of a woman found in the lower Niagara River yesterday morning near the whirlpool. One of the whirlpool jet boats helped recover the body.

Enjoy the warm fall weather while it lasts. Forecasters are predicting a cold and snowy winter in Western New York. Forecasters say we could see up to 120 inches of snow this season - the average is about 95.
