Motorist Dies in Rollover Accident on Greece NY Road
Rollover accidents often result in catastrophic injuries to drivers and passengers. Whether it’s a multi-vehicle collision involving two or more cars or a single-vehicle crash that involves just one car, a rollover accident has the potential to be fatal for the vehicle occupants. In fact, rollover accidents have an extremely high fatality rate because they can cause the driver and passengers to be ejected from the vehicle. That’s why it is imperative that anyone operating a car or van on a road in Monroe County or anywhere else in New York exercise extreme caution.
The dangers of rollover accidents were made apparent by a recent crash on Manitou Road in Greece, NY. According to authorities, the driver of a motor vehicle was traveling southbound on the roadway around 4:00 p.m. when she approached the intersection with Hincher Road and suddenly collided with another vehicle that was traveling northbound. The force of impact in the collision caused the first car to flip onto its roof. Meanwhile, the other car remained on its wheels but still sustained severe damage.
Greece NY police officers and emergency medical responders rushed to the scene of the auto accident, where they found the driver of the overturned vehicle suffering from fatal injuries. She was pronounced dead at the accident site. The driver of the other vehicle, along with a passenger, were rushed to an area hospital so that they could be treated for their accident-related injuries. They were later listed in guarded condition at the medical facility.
The woman who died in the rollover accident was 27 years old and lived in Greece, NY. The identities of the other accident victims, both of whom reside in Rochester NY, have not yet been released.
The Greece Police Department is actively investigating the tragic accident and attempting to determine whether either of the vehicle drivers may have been at fault for the head-on collision. Investigators will reportedly be looking for potential danger factors such as speeding, intoxication, and texting while driving.
