The Wayne County Sheriff’s Office is asking for witnesses and anyone with video to come forward as they investigate a serious two-vehicle crash in Walworth. The collision happened Tuesday at the intersection of Walworth–Penfield Road and Canandaigua Road, sending both drivers to Strong Memorial Hospital.

Investigators say 62-year-old Lawrence Aikins of Canandaigua had stopped on Canandaigua Road and was crossing the intersection when his vehicle was hit by an eastbound car driven by 41-year-old Chad Olmstead of Marion. Both men had to be extricated from their heavily damaged vehicles. A passenger with Aikins was not injured but was transported to the hospital as a precaution.

The Sheriff’s Office CRASH Team continues to piece together what happened and is urging anyone who saw the crash or may have video of the incident to contact them at 315-946-9711.

Walworth, West Walworth, and Lincoln fire departments, along with Wayne County EMS, assisted at the scene.
