On November 26, 2025, at approximately 6:52 PM, the Wyoming County Sheriff’s Office 911

an overturned Infiniti.
Rex stated he had been traveling eastbound on Genesee Road when a deer

overturned multiple times. No other vehicles were found to be involved in the collision.
Rex was evaluated at the scene by Wyoming County EMS and refused further medical treatment
and transport, and he was ultimately released to his family.
