Penfield, NY (August 4, 2025) – A two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Fairport Nine Mile Point Rd and Atlantic Ave resulted in injuries on Monday afternoon in Penfield, causing delays and drawing a response from Monroe County emergency services. The incident occurred near a busy suburban junction often used by local commuters and regional traffic alike.
Several individuals were evaluated by paramedics on scene, with one or more people sustaining injuries requiring transportation to nearby medical facilities. Authorities have not yet released information regarding the extent of those injuries, but both vehicles involved were significantly damaged and towed from the intersection following the crash.
Responding officers from the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office helped manage the scene by redirecting traffic and assisting medics as crews worked to clear the intersection.

We extend our best wishes to those injured and hope for their swift and complete recovery.
Intersection Collisions in New York Suburbs
Suburban intersections like Fairport Nine Mile Point Rd and Atlantic Ave are frequent sites for serious traffic collisions, often due to their layout and the blend of residential, commercial, and through traffic. Unlike major highways, suburban roads can present unexpected hazards, like limited signage, obstructed views, or poorly timed lights, which heighten the chances of crashes during high-traffic periods.
Injury crashes involving two vehicles often result in back and neck trauma, fractures, or head injuries that require medical follow-up and time away from work. Even seemingly “minor” suburban accidents can have long-term physical and financial effects for those involved. In such cases, timely action is essential, both in receiving medical care and documenting the scene for legal and insurance purposes.
New York State law gives injury victims the right to pursue compensation for their losses, but proving fault in intersection crashes can be complex. It requires evidence such as accident reconstructions, damage assessments, and possibly footage from traffic or security cameras in the area. Monday’s crash in Penfield is a reminder of how critical it is to remain attentive at intersections, regardless of the posted speed or traffic volume.
For those hurt in collisions like this, access to trusted medical, legal, and community support can make all the difference in a strong and steady recovery.
