The driver of a speeding Monte Carlo that nearly struck a State Police car on Niagara Falls Boulevard early this morning was killed when his car rammed the back of another vehicle at 56th Street in Niagara Falls minutes later.

State Police said that shortly before 5 a.m., their patrols monitored a radio transmission from Niagara Falls police that a vehicle was speeding eastbound on Niagara Falls Boulevard without its headlights on. Almost immediately, a State trooper had to take evasive action to avoid the Monte Carlo, which was described as an older model.
