Twin's unheeded plea turns fatal

03.11.09

"I told her, "You really shouldn't go with him. He goes too fast,' " Jennifer Schnorr said of the cell phone conversation she had with Megan, her fraternal twin.

"Nothing's going to happen," 16-year-old Megan assured her sister of the plans to go out driving on Clarence's back roads.

But shortly before 8:30 p.m. Shapiro, 18, flew past a stop sign northbound on Strickler Road and collided with a minivan headed west on County Road with his 2002 Nissan Sentra, Erie County sheriff's officials said.

The impact of the crash was so fierce it sent both vehicles 60 feet across the side lawn of a home at the northwest corner of the intersection and ejected Shapiro and Schnorr, who was seated behind him.

Shapiro's body ended up under a parked pickup truck in the driveway, and Schnorr's body slammed into a plastic gym set, breaking it in pieces, authorities said.
