Webster, NY (September 4, 2025) – Emergency crews rushed to the scene of a crash with injuries that forced the complete closure of NY 104 westbound at Hard Rd on Wednesday evening. The incident was first reported around 9:08 p.m., prompting an immediate multi-agency response due to the severity and total road blockage.
Paramedics and emergency medical services from Webster responded quickly, providing care to individuals hurt in the crash. The accident occurred along a major corridor connecting commuters between Monroe County and surrounding areas, leading to widespread delays and detours. Several people were evaluated for a variety of injuries at the scene, and at least one victim required transport to a local hospital for further treatment.
Preliminary details suggest the crash involved multiple vehicles and may have been influenced by low-light conditions or lane-merging maneuvers in the area approaching the Hard Rd intersection. The full closure of the westbound lanes significantly impacted nighttime travel and caused extended delays as authorities worked to investigate, assist injured individuals, and safely clear the wreckage.
The cause of the crash is currently under investigation by local police, and officials have not yet released the identities or conditions of those involved.
