EDEN, N.Y. (WIVB) - A 20-year-old Derby man is in critical condition at ECMC after a Tuesday afternoon crash on Route 20.

Eden Police say 60-year-old James Kipfer, of Cowlesville, was driving a tractor trailer and ran the red light at Route 20 and South Creek. Police say Kipfer’s vehicle struck a Cavalier driven by Brett Farrell, who was entering the intersection from South Creek Road.
