Submitted photo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, it was reported that one of the vehicles was fully engulfed in flames with at least one occupant trapped inside.\u00a0 Due to the quick and decisive actions of responding officers and the assistance of nearby citizens, the lone occupant was rescued from the vehicle and transported to Strong Hospital via Mercy Flight with life threatening injuries. It should also be noted that several citizens assisted by attempting to extinguish the flames utilizing fire extinguishers, prior to City of Batavia Fire arrival.\u00a0 City of Batavia Fire also quickly responded to the scene and successfully extinguished the vehicle fire.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While the cause of the accident is still under investigation, preliminary investigation revealed that the vehicle that was later engulfed in flames was traveling eastbound on W. Main St. at a high rate of speed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vehicle ran the red light at the intersection of W Main St. and Oak St., colliding with a vehicle that was lawfully in the intersection traveling northbound on Oak Street. Due to the high speed of the vehicle, other vehicles that were stopped at the intersection facing westbound were also struck. Damage occurred to several vehicles and multiple minor injuries were reported.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In total, 8 vehicles were damaged and 3 patients were transported to regional hospitals. The accident is still under investigation as the Genesee County Crash Management Team was requested to assist and charges are expected to be pending. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
