CATTARAUGUS COUNTY, N.Y. 2 On Your Side has promised to stay on top of concerns at Zoar Valley where so many deadly accidents have happened over the years. Now, we have a progress report on efforts to make it safer, and it comes as a local family has now gone half a year without their beloved daughter. Her death inspired a call for action.
The sprawling conservation area sits on the line of Erie and Cattaraugus counties. It s a canyon that s as perilous as it is picturesque, with decades of deadly accidents. The most recent was exactly six months ago when Brooke Walker, 16, became the latest casualty.
