Firefighters and paramedics worked together to assess those involved, treating individuals for a range of injuries consistent with a BLS-level response—typically non-life-threatening but still requiring professional medical evaluation. Several people were assisted at the scene and later transported to nearby hospitals for further care.

Neighborhood Intersection Crashes in New York
Crashes at suburban intersections—like the one at Ridgeway Ave and Bellwood Dr—often occur due to issues such as limited visibility, distracted driving, or unclear right-of-way decisions. Even when classified as a BLS routine call, injuries sustained in these collisions can still disrupt daily life, requiring medical attention, missed workdays, and vehicle repairs.
The town of Greece is home to numerous residential and connector roads, and both commuters and local traffic frequent intersections like Ridgeway and Bellwood. These low-to-moderate speed zones can deceptively present risk, particularly when drivers are unfamiliar with the area or navigating through turns and side streets.
In this incident, prompt care from emergency crews helped prevent complications and ensured injured individuals received appropriate evaluation. While this was not a high-speed highway crash, it highlights how everyday intersections carry real risks—especially when drivers are inattentive or rush through without caution.
To reduce intersection collisions, local officials often consider signage enhancements, clearer lane markings, or additional traffic controls such as stop signs or flashing beacons. Residents can also play a role by reporting hazardous conditions and remaining vigilant behind the wheel.
