Lack of signal before U-turn blamed on accident in Le Roy

By Howard B. Owens

A driver is accused of making an abrupt U-turn, leading to a minor-injury accident at 7:23 p.m., Wednesday, on Route 19 in Le Roy.

Injured was June S. Wood, 58, of Pavilion.

Wood was cited for allegedly making a turn without a signal.

The other driver, Jack E. Benson, also of Pavilion, was not injured.

Wood was reportedly southbound on Route 19 when she allegedly tried to make a U-turn without signaling. Benson reportedly tried to swerve into the northbound lane to avoid striking Wood's car, but a collision ensued.

Wood did not require transport to a hospital.

The accident was investigated by Deputy Matthew Fleming.
