At approximately 8:02p.m. on November 6, 2020, the Genesee County Dispatch center was notified of a car/pedestrian accident which occurred on East Main Street, just east of Summit Street.
Officers from the Batavia Police Department, along with the City of Batavia Fire Department and Mercy Medics, responded for a male pedestrian that was found with severe injuries, laying in the middle of the roadway. The pedestrian was transported to UMMC where he was later pronounced dead.
The preliminary investigation shows the vehicle was heading east on East Main Street when the pedestrian entered the roadway just east of Summit Street. The pedestrian was on the south side of the roadway and heading north. The vehicle struck the pedestrian as he was crossing the road.
The investigation is still ongoing and no further updates should be expected until November 9, 2020. The identity of the pedestrian is being withheld at this time at the family’s request.
Anyone with information in reference to the case may contact Detective Sergeant Lutey at 585-345-6311 or the Batavia Police Department at 585-345-6350, the confidential tip line at 585-345-6370 or online at http://www.batavianewyork.com/police-department/webforms/report-suspicious-drug-or-criminal-activity.
I’m not surprised. So many people cross at night with all black on.
RIP Condolences to family and friends. Very sad.
