A woman and four passengers were hospitalized early Monday morning after a vehicle struck a horse and collided with another car in the Town of Macedon.
According to the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office, Evelin Lazo-Rivera was driving south on Alderman Road around 5:20 a.m. when a horse suddenly ran into the roadway. Authorities said her vehicle hit the animal, then veered into the oncoming lane and crashed into a parked vehicle.
The second vehicle, operated by Eric Minns, was reportedly stopped in an attempt to warn Lazo-Rivera about the horse.
Lazo-Rivera and her four passengers—Elvin Tablada, Nancy Maribel, Elvin Tablada Jr., and Jackeline Sarela—were all transported to Strong Memorial Hospital with various injuries. Their conditions have not been disclosed.
Deputies were assisted at the scene by the South Macedon Fire Department, Macedon Center Fire Department, Western Wayne Ambulance, Macedon Town Ambulance, and Fingerlakes Ambulance.
