Two men were seriously injured Tuesday afternoon after a crash at a busy Walworth intersection left both drivers trapped in their vehicles.
The Wayne County Sheriff’s Office said the crash happened just after 4:30 p.m. at the intersection of Walworth-Penfield and Canandaigua roads.
Deputies said 62-year-old Lawrence Aikins of Canandaigua was heading north on Canandaigua Road and had stopped at the intersection. After proceeding through, his vehicle was struck by a car heading east on Walworth-Penfield Road, driven by 41-year-old Chad Olmstead of Marion.
