Investigation Underway After Multiple People Injured in Henrietta Collision by East River Road near Minett Drive

HENRIETTA, NEW YORK (February 18, 2026) – At least three people were seriously injured in a Henrietta car accident near the intersection of East River Road and Minett Drive.

New York State Police are saying with the collision that took place around 6:30 PM on Tuesday. A vehicle was heading northbound on E. River Rd. when it crossed into proposing lanes of traffic and collided with another vehicle.

Firefighters were taken to the scene of the collision to help all of the victims. Photos of the accident site showed that one vehicle appears to be a Hummer, and the second vehicle appears to be a truck.

Three people were taken to the hospital with serious injuries. A full investigation of the crash remains ongoing.

Liability for Henrietta Car Accidents

Every driver must use caution to avoid colliding with other vehicles in the roadway. Pursuant to NY Veh & Traf L § 1128, “A vehicle shall be driven as nearly as practicable entirely within a single lane and shall not be moved from such lane until the driver has first ascertained that such movement can be made with safety.” Several factors could contribute to any car accident.

  • Speeding
  • Distracted driving
  • Inclement weather
  • Poor road conditions

If a driver crosses into opposing lanes of traffic and collides with another vehicle, this could be construed as negligence. There is a presumption of chance on the part of any driveway on its own lane of traffic that collides with another vehicle. Any person injured in a Henrietta car accident may be able to pursue damages through a personal injury claim. Damages can help cover lost wages, medical bills, and pain and suffering.
