Candice BondThree people were injured in a car crash at Route 20 and Madison Street in Sangerfield on November 5, according to the Oneida County Sheriff's office.
How the Route 20 Intersection Crash Unfolded
Officers were sent to the intersection at about 10:41 a.m. on Thursday. Sheriffs said a 1988 Ford Ranger driven by the 17-year-old was southbound on Madison Street and stopped at the stop sign. Sheriffs said the juvenile then tried to cross Route 20 toward Newberry Road. The other driver, Stephen Fitch, 73, of Bridgewater, was driving a 2013 Chevrolet Impala eastbound on Route 20, and the two vehicles collided in the intersection.
The juvenile was taken to Hamilton Hospital after being evaluated by first responders. Fitch and the passenger were taken to Wynn Hospital for further evaluation. Sheriffs said all three had non-life-threatening injuries.
What the Oneida County Sheriff Reported After the Crash
The sheriff's office said it issued the juvenile a citation for not yielding at a stop sign, returnable to Sangerfield Town Court. Blueline Towing, Main Street Auto Care, COCVAC, the Waterville Volunteer Fire Department and the New York State Department of Transportation also helped at the scene. Multiple COCVAC units took the injured to the hospitals.
Police usually wait to release the names of the people involved until their families have been told. That is why names often come out a day or more later.
