A driver says he glanced down at his gas gauge and then didn't see a car in front of him slowing to make a turn, causing a rear-end accident on West Main Street in Batavia on Friday.
Nicholas J. Fenner, 19, of Clarence, was cited for allegedly following too closely.
Four people in the car Fenner reportedly hit were transported by ground ambulance to UMMC with non-life-threatening injuries: Shartanay R. Gibbs, 19, of Batavia (the driver of the second vehicle), Farah St. Cloud, 18, Delore Opoku-Boateng, 18, and Kyla R. Preston, 18.
Also in the second car, but not injured, was Shaday D. Gibbs.
There were no passengers in Fenner's car.
Shartanay Gibbs was cited for allegedly driving without a license.
The accident was investigated by Deputy Chad Minuto.
