Driver injured in Indian Road MVA

Posted

On January 12, 2 at about 6:30 p.m., the Marlborough Police Department responded to the area of 290 Old Indian Rd, Milton for a reported personal injury motor vehicle accident. Police units arrived and investigated a 2-car crash with serious injury.

The investigation revealed that a car driven by Devin Hernandez-Gomez of Milton was west on Old Indian Road. A vehicle driven by a 17 year-old female of Highland NY was east on Old Indian Road and failed to navigate the turn, occupying the westbound lane. The vehicle driven by Mr. Hernandez-Gomez attempted to avoid the accident by leaving the roadway but was unable to move over any further due to an earth embankment that he struck attempting to avoid the accident. The female driver of the other vehicle was extricated from the vehicle by members of the Milton Fire Department.

The driver was conscious but suffered serious injury and was airlifted to Mid Hudson Regional Hospital. The 3 passengers, relatives of the driver, also sustained minor injuries and were transported to Mid Hudson Regional Hospital by Mobile Life. The driver of the other vehicle and the only occupant was not injured.

Hernandez-Gomez was ticketed for unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle. The investigation is continuing, and it is unsure at this time if any other tickets will be issued.

The Marlborough Police were assisted at the scene by the Milton Fire Department, Mobile Life and Lifenet Medevac.
