MISS: Two horrific accidents in Auburn Sunday appear to have been entirely preventable.

Police said extreme speed was a factor in a fatal crash on Grant Avenue in which a car hit a utility pole, and a motorcyclist who collided with a car at the intersection of West Genesee Street and Lexington Avenue had been observed by other drivers weaving in and out of traffic and moving too fast.

In addition to staying sober and using seat belts, observing the speed limit is absolutely essential.
