No injuries reported in multi-car MVA

NORWICH – While all linked, reports of a multiple motor vehicle accidents within the city yesterday resulted in no personal injuries to motorists during the evening commute.
Authorities have indicated that James Flanagan of Norwich careened into two other vehicles at separate locations between the times of 4:45 and 5 p.m.
A number of complaints of an erratic driver hitting cars while traveling through the city were overheard on the scanner, and at least two reports of car accidents were confirmed by authorities.
At approximately 4:52 p.m., Norwich Fire responded to the first of two seperate MVAs with possible personal injuries at the intersection of South Broad and Hale Street. After an evaluation, first responders would determine that the driver was physically stable.
“At this time we are still in the process of piecing the events of the incident together,” City of Norwich Police Officer Reuben Roach said. “We know that the driver initially hit a parked car on south Broad and Hale Street and then proceeded to the intersection of and Hale Street where the vehicle operated by Flanagan would make contact with the side of another vehicle.”
Flanagan’s vehicle would ultimately end up in a large snow bank near 49 Midland Drive where Norwich City Police Officers were met by EMTs that were en route to assist first responders at the first scene.
According to Chenango County Emergency Management Service Coordinator A. Wesley Jones, the Norwich Fire Department was summoned to the scene where Flanagan was treated.
Emergency personnel and authorities would learn that Falanagan was suffering from an altered mental status due to a medical condition and was “Close to unconsciousness” at the time of assessment.
Chenango County 911 incident log indicates that Emergency personnel would arrive on the scene near the Norwich High School Parking lot at 5:08 p.m. and initiated treatment for a diabetic condition.
“It's an unfortunate situation that was handled very well by the officers who responded,” said Jones. He continued, “This is an example of a scenario where a driver can be mistakenly identified as a drunk driver, and making the right call to determine what is actually happening is crucial. It's fortunate that no one was injured and that medical personnel acted swiftly.”
At the time of the incident, Flanagan was operating a vehicle owned by his employer The Auto Spa on 126 Hobo's Lane in the town of Norwich.
According to Officer Roach, the incident was classified as a medical emergency and Falanagan was not issued a citation.
