A Canandaigua man is being held without bail after he ran down two people on bicycles while driving drunk.
The Ontario County Sheriff’s Office says James McCormick was driving on Route 364 when he came up on a couple riding their bikes on the shoulder. McCormick’s car hit both bikes, sending the riders flying.
Forty-one-year-old Amy Lyn Jones of Canandaigua suffered severe injuries including a broken neck and is being treated at Strong Memorial Hospital. They say 41-year-old Robert Wallace suffered minor injuries and has been released from the hospital.
McCormick was charged with aggravated vehicular assault, aggravated DWI and other charges after deputies found his blood alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit. He has two prior felony convictions.
