A 73-year-old Fairport woman was injured Wednesday afternoon after being struck by a vehicle in the parking lot of BJ’s Wholesale Club in Victor.
According to the Ontario County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded around 2:09 p.m. to the store at 50 Eastview Mall Drive for a reported personal injury crash. Investigators said Lorenzo Dalessandro, 73, of Victor, was backing up his vehicle when he struck pedestrian Diane Thomas, of Fairport.
Thomas suffered a shoulder injury and was transported by Victor-Farmington Ambulance to F.F. Thompson Hospital for treatment.
Deputies said Dalessandro was issued a citation for unsafe backing.
The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
