Riga, NY (April 24, 2025) – A serious motor vehicle accident with injuries occurred Wednesday at the intersection of Buffalo Road and Fairbanks Road in the Town of Riga, Monroe County. The crash, listed under incident number RIGE2511302270, required an ALS (Advanced Life Support) Emergency response, indicating that at least one person sustained potentially life-threatening injuries.
Emergency responders arrived at the scene quickly and provided critical medical care to the injured. ALS-level response typically involves advanced airway management, cardiac monitoring, or administration of medications—measures that go beyond basic first aid and suggest a serious medical emergency resulting from the collision.
At this time, officials have not confirmed how many individuals were involved or the specific cause of the crash. Traffic in the area may have been disrupted during emergency operations as crews worked to stabilize the victims and clear the scene.
Our thoughts are with those injured, and we wish them a swift and full recovery.
High-Severity Accidents in Rural Monroe County
Buffalo Rd (NY-33) in Riga serves as a key east-west route for both local and regional traffic. Intersections like Fairbanks Rd can be particularly dangerous due to speed limits, limited visibility, and variable traffic conditions. Rural crash sites often present additional risks due to distance from trauma centers, making the speed and quality of emergency response critical.
ALS emergent incidents typically follow high-speed impacts or situations involving major trauma—such as head injuries, chest trauma, or suspected internal injuries. These conditions demand rapid, on-scene intervention and transport to advanced care facilities, such as Strong Memorial Hospital or Unity Hospital in the Rochester area.
Following such crashes, victims and their families may be overwhelmed with medical decisions, insurance concerns, and legal uncertainties. Seeking timely support is essential to managing these challenges effectively.
