Five-year old improving after East River Road accident
NORTH NORWICH – A five-year-old boy listed in “serious” condition after being ejected from a vehicle during a two-car collision on County Road 32 Friday morning is improving, according to the New York State Police.
As of Sunday, the boy was still a patient at Upstate Medical Center, reported New York State Police Investigator Jason Bessett.
“I know he’s doing well,” Bessett said Monday.
The child was injured in an accident which occurred at shortly after 7 a.m. just south of the DCMO BOCES Chenango Campus on County Road 32 in the Town of North Norwich. A 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee driven by Amanda Collins, 35, of Norwich, and an unmarked Norwich City Police vehicle driven by Chief Joseph Angelino were involved in the crash.
According to New York State Trooper Jamieson Tefft, Collins was heading South on County Road 32 when she lost control of her vehicle due to slippery road conditions and crossed into the northbound lane. The rear driver’s side of her vehicle crashed into the front of the NPD vehicle, which had been heading north. Angelino and Assistant Chief Dale Smith were both in the car, on their way to attend a conference in Utica.
Tefft said the boy, who had been in a child restraint in the rear passenger area of the Jeep, was ejected at the time of the crash.
Emergency responders reported that Guthrie Air were called, but weather conditions prevented the helicopter from responding to the scene. The child, along with Collins, Angelino and Smith, were transported to Chenango Memorial Hospital.
“The child will be transferred to Upstate Medical,” Tefft reported on Friday. “Everyone else has been treated and released.” While the trooper did not comment on the specific nature of the boy’s injuries, he described them as “serious.”
The stretch of County Road 32 from BOCES to State Highway 320/King Settlement Road remained closed until approximately 11:30 a.m., when it was reopened to traffic.
According to Tefft, as of Friday noon the accident was still under investigation and no tickets had been issued at that time. That status remained unchanged as of Monday morning.
In addition to the New York State Police, the Chenango County Sheriff’s Office and the Norwich Fire Department responded to the scene.
