Police say alcohol and speed may have contributed to the tragic auto accident that killed three men and injured two others on the Oswego Speedway. According to a news report in The Wall Street Journal, a 25-year-old man was driving a mid-sized sedan on the Oswego Speedway when he crashed into a utility pole. The collision was so forceful it threw some of the passengers out of the car. Police have investigated and found that the men were drinking before they got in the car. The driver and two male passengers, ages 24 and 28, were killed. The two injured were hospitalized but are expected to survive.
