Barrington, NY (October 27, 2025) – Three people, including a child, suffered serious injuries Sunday afternoon, October 26, after a car collided with a horse-drawn buggy in Barrington.
According to the Yates County Sheriff’s Office, the crash occurred around 2:34 p.m. on Six Corners Road. Investigators reported that a southbound vehicle driven by a 38-year-old woman from Dundee struck the buggy from behind, causing it to overturn.
The impact threw all three occupants—a man, a woman, and a child—from the buggy. Emergency responders airlifted them to Strong Memorial Hospital for treatment of serious injuries.
The driver of the car and her passenger were not hurt. Deputies cited the driver for following too closely.
