Car rolls over on Route 5

By Howard B. Owens

There's a vehicle-rollover accident in the westbound lane of Route 5 in Le Roy.

UPDATE 8:42 p.m.: First responder reports that the road is "solid ice" and that the car went over the guardrail. The good news is, "everyone is out of the vehicle."

UPDATE 8:45 p.m.: Mercy EMS medic reports, "It's solid black ice out there." He's taking all of the patients to the toll booth.

UPDATE 8:53 p.m.: With the patients safely out of the area, Le Roy Fire is leaving the scene and back in service. "There's too much danger here."

I was coming back from Bethany tonight taking Route 20 to Batavia-Stafford TL, then west on Route 5.

I went skidding all over the place when I turned on to Route 5.
