MIDDLEFIELD - At least one woman was severely injured on this two-vehicle accident on Route 166 in the Town of Middlefield, Otsego County at 5:20pm Tuesday.
A child in the Chevrolet Malibu escaped injury and was removed by a passing motorist, but a woman in the car was not as lucky suffering an ankle injury that was bleeding profusely, necessitating two men to remove their shirts and putting them on the wound to attempt to stop the bleeding. The two vehicles were too close for the woman to be removed by passing motorists and neighbors. It is not known the severity of the injuries of the people in the Chevrolet Equinox. The airbags in both vehicles deployed after the collision.
The State Police responded to the scene as did a local ambulance. A volunteer firefighter from Richmondville stopped at the scene and helped direct traffic and attend to the injured woman.
The accident occurred at the intersection of Pete Hendricks Road and Route 166. The vehicles came to rest after hitting a guard rail on Route 166.
