One person dead after crash on Jefferson Road in Pittsford

PITTSFORD, N.Y. — One person is dead after a two-car crash on Jefferson Road at Park Square Lane on Friday.

It happened at 9:20 p.m. A Monroe County Sheriff’s deputy says speed was likely not a factor, but weather played a part, as the rain was causing low visibility. Deputies explain one vehicle was driving east on Jefferson Road when it hit another vehicle making a left onto Jefferson Road off of Park Square Lane.

The driver of the first vehicle was not injured, a 66-year-old man from Pittsford. A 16-year-old boy from Brighton was driving the second vehicle, with his passenger, a 60-year-old man from Brighton, Weiguo Peng — who died at the scene. The boy was brought to Strong Memorial Hospital with serious injuries but is in stable condition.

Deputies have ruled out drugs and alcohol. The poor weather conditions and low visibility are believed to have been a factor in the cause of this accident.
