North Tonawanda Woman Gets Prison Time for Critically Injuring E-Bike Rider in Niagara Falls

A North Tonawanda resident has been sentenced for a hit-and-run crash in Niagara Falls that left an e-bicyclist seriously injured, the Niagara County District Attorney’s Office announced.

Prosecutors said Amber Clark, 43, had taken methamphetamine on September 20th, 2024, before striking a man riding an electric bicycle at the intersection of Niagara Falls Boulevard and 47th Street.

The impact caused severe injuries to the cyclist and authorities say Clark left the scene without stopping.

“Driving a vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and reckless operation of any kind, can lead to disastrous consequences for innocent people,” said Niagara County District Attorney Brian Seaman. “When that happens, there must be a severe consequence for the callous individual who causes these injuries.”

Clark had previously entered a guilty plea to second-degree vehicular assault and leaving the scene of a motor vehicle collision resulting in serious physical injury. Last week, she was given a prison sentence of one to three years in state custody.
