My wife and I were coming back from Rochester last nite on I490 and I seen this car heading for us going the wrong way. He wasn't going real fast and we got by him by flasing my brights on and off. A little bit shook-up.

Yes Bob, my wife and I were coming back from Rochester last night on 490. Driving separately and I got off on the Batavia exit going west bound, my wife was behind me. She called me and said, did you see the accident right past the exit ahead of you? I think I just missed it, and so did she, I didn't see it. We got home, and read this posting. I haven't been able to find anything else about it. Hopefully that means no one got hurt.
