St. Patrick's Day brings to mind shamrocks, leprechauns, pots of gold and good luck. But no amount of luck can save you from a drunk-driving crash.

DEPEW, NY - On Wednesday, we told you that the family of corrections officer had filed a notice of claim against Erie County for his death.

Now the family of a Depew man is suing the state, and plans to sue Erie County and Cheektowaga, after their loved one was found buried in his car days after he called 911 for help.

"The fact that he died of a painful and distressful death, waiting to be picked up, waiting to be rescued, has the whole family outraged," said Steven Cohen, the attorney for the Deneke family.

Deneke, one of the 13 victims of the November storm, was from Depew. He was 51 years old, and had two daughters.
