FARMINGTON, N.Y. — Three people are dead after a wrong-way crash on the Thruway Tuesday morning in the town of Farmington in Ontario County east of Rochester.
New York State Police say a vehicle driven by Charles Bargerstock, 81, of Ohio, was traveling west in the eastbound lane when he struck a vehicle driven by Himel A. Joy, 24 of Astoria, head on.
Both Bargerstock and Joy were killed in the accident, along with Joy's passenger, Mohjammal H. Rasel, 30, of Astoria.
Two passengers in Joy's vehicle were also hurt. Moshin Ahmed, 23, was taken by Mercy Flight to Strong Memorial Hospital with serious injuries. Kenedy Apel, 18, was taken by ambulance to Strong Memorial Hospital with a head injury.
