The SUV had one adult male, three adult females and five children (ages: 14, 10, 4, 4, 4). Two adult women were ejected and pronounced dead at the scene by Wyoming County Coroner Jennifer Prutsman-Pfeiffer. One of the four year old children was taken by Bennington Ambulance to the Wyoming County Community Hospital (WCCH) for head injuries and died about an hour later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. The adult male was taken by Warsaw Ambulance to WCCH and was later released. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. An adult female was taken by Monroe Ambulance to ECMC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The identities and injuries are being withheld pending family notifications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The driver of the pickup was identified as Richard SAWICKI- age 20 of Lackawanna, NY. He was transported by the Strykersville Ambulance to ECMC and later released. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was arrested by the Wyoming County Sheriff\u2019s Office for Aggravated Vehicular Homicide, Driving While Intoxicated and Reckless Driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAWICKI was arraigned in front of Justice Fusani of the Town of Warsaw Court with District Attorney Donald O\u2019Geen present and Michael Stivers of the Public Defender\u2019s Office representing SAWICKI.
