Warsaw, NY (January 9, 2026) – A severe crash requiring heavy extrication and air medical support occurred on Friday at the intersection of Route 20A and Hermitage Rd in Wyoming County, leaving multiple victims seriously injured.
First responders from Warsaw and surrounding agencies rushed to the scene following reports of a major accident involving significant entrapment. Due to the severity of the wreckage, firefighters used heavy rescue tools to free victims who were trapped inside the vehicles. Two medical helicopters were dispatched to the scene, highlighting the critical nature of the injuries sustained.
The incident took place in a more rural stretch of Wyoming County, which added complexity to the emergency response. Medics stabilized victims on-site before airlifting at least two individuals to trauma centers for advanced care. Local crews worked through the scene methodically while managing both medical needs and traffic around the area.
Authorities have confirmed that the crash was serious, but the total number of injured individuals and specific causes remain under investigation. The intersection was closed for an extended period as crews cleared the wreckage and began gathering evidence.
Our thoughts are with those hurt in this devastating collision, and we hope for a full and strong recovery for all involved.
