Batavia, NY (April 21, 2025) – Emergency crews responded to a car vs. pedestrian crash Saturday afternoon that left a young male injured in Batavia. The incident occurred at the intersection of West Main Street and Redfield Parkway and involved an SUV and a pedestrian who was reportedly walking or riding with a bicycle at the time of the collision.
According to scanner traffic and reports from Video News Service, law enforcement, Mercy EMS, and City Fire units arrived on the scene shortly after the incident was reported. Witnesses stated the male pedestrian, believed to be a juvenile, was conscious and walking following the collision but sustained a leg injury and a bloody nose.
He was treated on-site by paramedics and transported for further evaluation. The vehicle involved remained at the scene, and police began an immediate investigation to determine the events leading up to the crash.
Fortunately, the injuries do not appear life-threatening, though the impact of such incidents — especially involving younger individuals — can have lasting consequences both physically and emotionally.

Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety at Urban Intersections in New York
The crash at West Main Street and Redfield Parkway highlights the safety challenges faced by pedestrians and young bicyclists in urban intersections — especially those involving high-traffic corridors like West Main Street. When an SUV or other vehicle strikes a pedestrian, even at lower speeds, injuries such as head trauma, limb damage, and internal bleeding can occur.
In this case, the fact that the juvenile pedestrian was able to walk after the collision is encouraging. However, even seemingly minor injuries like a bloody nose or leg pain should be evaluated thoroughly by medical professionals, especially when children or teens are involved.
If you or a loved one has been involved in a pedestrian accident, it’s important to seek medical care and understand your rights. Legal and medical guidance can be crucial in ensuring a full recovery and navigating insurance or liability concerns.
