Arrest made in Genesee County hit-and-run crash

The victim is still in critical condition. A 21-year-old Alden man turned himself in and now faces a felony charge.

GENESEE COUNTY, N.Y. — The Genesee County Sheriff's says an arrest has been made in a hit-and-run crash that left a victim in critical condition.

Sheriff's say Alexander J. Wuerch, 21, of Alden turned himself into authorities and has been charged with leaving the scene of an incident without reporting that it resulted in a serious physical injury. The charge is a Class E felony.

The incident happened Friday night around 9 p.m. along Route 77 in Pembroke.

Car parts were left at the scene which lead deputies to believe they were looking for possibly a light-colored 2012-13 Hyundai Tucson with some front end damage and heavy damage to its undercarriage.

After the accident, authorities say Wuerch continued south to the intersection of Routes 77 and 33 in Corfu where it turned right on Route 33 heading west. 

The victim is still in critical condition.
