Two people were hospitalized following a serious accident on State Route 369 in the Town of Fenton on Saturday.
According to the Broome County Sheriff’s Office, on June 8, at approximately 5:52 p.m., the driver of a silver Honda Civic traveling northbound on State Route 369 near Rogers Road failed to negotiate a turn and crossed over into the southbound lane, colliding with a purple SUV.
No fatalities were reported, but both drivers were hospitalized and treated for serious injuries. The driver of the Honda Civic was issued multiple traffic violations as a result of the accident investigation.
“Our patrols have always had a steady presence on Route 369, but in response to these recent accidents, our team will be adding increased proactive patrols and utilizing technology to gather additional data on traffic activity and driving behaviors,” said Sheriff Fred Akshar. “We’re also looking at crash and traffic ticket data from the past several years to help inform any decisions made by local municipalities and the NYS Department of Transportation. Even so, at the end of the day it’s up to all of our community members to take extra care while driving on this road and every road to make sure our families can safely get where they need to go.”
The Broome County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Port Crane Fire Company, Chenango Forks Fire Company, Chenango Bridge Fire Company, Broome Volunteer Emergency Squad, New York State Police and New York State Department of Transportation, who all responded to the accident.
