SARATOGA SPRINGS It has been an emotional and tragic time in Saratoga Springs for family and friends of a 16-year-old boy who was killed in a car crash along Redwood Road.
Police said Ammon Blake was traveling northbound on Redwood Road on Tuesday afternoon and was turning on West Harvest Hills when he was hit by a car that ran a red light.
Police also said the 28-year-old driver in that car may have been in a road rage incident just moments before. Elevated speeds and also some erratic driving. There s one probable situation where he did give a gesture to another car, said Assistant Chief Bill Robertson with the Saratoga Springs Police Department. We ve had over the last several weeks several road rage incidents where we ve had to write citations and make arrests. It s not worth it. Please don t let the emotions get the better of you. It never ends well in those situations.
