The information was all that was heard on the scanner about the accident. There was such a long time between the original post and the updates because scanner traffic was tied up with the Stafford house fire, which occurred around the same time.

As yet, no accident report has been issued.

We will check to see if we can get further information about the victims.

We do not publish information about New York City taxi cabs jumping curbs because we do not cover the Big Apple, just Genesee County to the best of our ability. If a taxi jumped a curb here and it was heard on the scanner, we might post it, depending on what else was going on at the time.
