Ave. D/St. Paul St. MVA Investigation

Rochester, NY - On 10/21/26, at approximately 3:21 a.m., a Rochester police officer on routine patrol came across a motor vehicle accident which had just occurred at the intersection of Avenue D/St. Paul St.  The driver of one of the vehicles, a 37 year old, male, city-resident, attempted to flee the scene on foot but was taken into custody shortly after. 

Officers learned that the accident occurred as a vehicle, operated by the fleeing male, was traveling westbound on Avenue D, failed to safely negotiate a turn at the intersection of Avenue D/St. Paul St., and struck a vehicle traveling southbound on St. Paul Street.  The operator of the vehicle traveling on St. Paul Street, a 36 year old Brighton resident, was examined by AMR ambulance on-scene but was ultimately determined to be uninjured. 

The individual who fled from police was not injured and is expected to face several criminal and traffic charges.  Specifics related to charges may be released at a later time.
