Two car accident slows traffic and stretches emergency crews

NORWICH – A violent collision in the Town of Norwich Wednesday afternoon took place amidst several other emergency calls that stretched out responder’s resources and slowed traffic for an hour and a half.
Among the three people involved in the accident, no one was injured, but both vehicles had to be towed from the middle of the traffic light intersection of East River Road (County Rt. 32) and State Route 23.
The accident took place at about 1:50 p.m.
Connie M. Coleman, 64, Bainbridge, was traveling south on Rt. 32 in her 2003 PT Cruiser, proceeding through the intersection making a left turn onto Rt. 23.
A 2006 KIA driven by Donald C. Garver, 53, Mount Airy, Maryland, was traveling east on Rt. 23 with a passenger and allegedly failed to yield the right of way at the red light.
Garver’s car struck Coleman’s on the left side of her vehicle and the two spun out of control before coming to a rest in the intersection. Police said air bags were deployed in both vehicles and everyone was wearing a seatbelt.
Only three emergency personnel were able to respond to the scene for over an hour – a New York State Trooper, a Norwich volunteer firefighter and an unidentified retired firefighter who stopped to lend a hand. The accident took place during an usually high volume of emergency calls and many crews were already responding at other locations.
The State Police issued Garver a ticket for failure to yield the right of way.
