Penfield, NY (July 23, 2025) – A crash involving injuries occurred Tuesday in the 1800 block of Penfield Rd near Dunkin Donuts, prompting a Basic Life Support (BLS) routine response from local emergency teams. The incident took place during daytime hours and resulted in minor but actionable injuries for those involved.
Eyewitnesses noted that emergency vehicles quickly arrived on the scene as traffic slowed through the area. Medical personnel evaluated those hurt and provided care consistent with BLS protocols, typically involving non-life-threatening injuries such as muscle strains, abrasions, or mild trauma. Victims were assisted at the scene and later transported to local facilities for further assessment.
The crash reportedly occurred near the parking lot entrance of the Dunkin Donuts, suggesting a possible low-speed impact between vehicles entering or exiting the commercial driveway. At least one car showed visible damage, and responders temporarily redirected traffic in the immediate vicinity while managing the scene.
Law enforcement officers documented the incident and spoke with individuals involved. While no serious injuries were initially reported, the crash remains under investigation to determine the sequence of events and contributing factors.
We extend our well wishes to those impacted and hope for a smooth recovery.
Parking Lot and Commercial Driveway Crashes in New York
Collisions near business entrances—like the one that occurred outside Dunkin Donuts on Penfield Rd—are a common type of roadway incident, especially in suburban areas with busy retail corridors. Though typically lower in speed, these accidents still result in physical injuries, insurance disputes, and logistical challenges for victims.
Penfield Rd serves as a primary route through the town’s commercial district and is lined with shops, restaurants, and service businesses. Driveway-related crashes are often caused by limited visibility, rushed exits, or unclear signaling between turning vehicles. In this case, the location near a popular coffee shop during daytime hours may have increased both vehicle and foot traffic, contributing to the risk.
While injuries in such incidents are often categorized under BLS protocol, even seemingly minor trauma can disrupt one’s daily routine and require physical therapy or follow-up treatment. Emergency responders played a key role in promptly assisting those hurt and ensuring the area was safe for other drivers and pedestrians.
Local traffic planners and business owners alike can improve safety by ensuring clear signage, wide turning access, and adequate visibility near entrances and exits. Drivers are reminded to take extra care when navigating parking lots and driveways—where risks are high, even at low speeds.
