Three teens in hospital after crash

MEDINA, N.Y. (WIVB) - The Medina Fire Department and several crews responded to a call at 12:42 a.m. Sunday, on State Street. The vehicle hit a tree, and the car was a mangled mess by the time police got to the scene.

One of the three occupants, the driver, was trapped inside the vehicle. Due to the complexity of the removal of the occupant, two hydraulic rescue tools were requested including one from Ridgeway, and the other from Shelby Fire Department.

After approximately 30 minutes of work, the driver, an 18-year-old male was removed from the vehicle and taken to the Medina Memorial. He was taken to ECMC by a second Mercy Flight with serious injuries.

A 16-year-old female passenger was taken to Medina Memorial Hospital with minor injuries.

The 14-year-old male passenger was also taken to the landing zone and then transported by Mercy Flight to Women’s and Children’s Hospital of Buffalo with serious injuries.
