Police, emergency responders investigate motor vehicle accident at State Route 26 and Stokes-Westernville Road

LEE- An accident sent one to the hospital over the weekend in Oneida County, authorities say.

It was shortly before 7:00 p.m. Saturday when emergency responders were called out to the corner of State Route 26 and Stokes-Westernville Road, town of Lee.

Dispatchers reported a crash between a 2005 Landrover, a 2015 Kia and a 2011 Kia. Authorities say there were three vehicles, but only two that ended up sustaining damage.

According to Sheriff’s Office investigation, Brian M. Dehart, 42, of Watertown, NY was heading north on 26 in his Landrover. As he was approaching the intersection of Stokes-Westernville Road, this is when Matthew K. Moor, 23, of Baldwinsville, NY pulled-out into the roadway.

When Moor made his move into the intersection, he saw Dehart’s approaching Landrover and came to a stop.

Dehart veered right to avoid a wreck, but ended up smashing into a parked 2011 Kia at 9144 State Route 26. Damage was also reported to the home’s porch steps.

Police say a juvenile passenger in Dehart’s vehicle was taken to Rome Memorial Hospital for evaluation. Injuries described were minor.

AmCare Ambulance and Lee Center Fire Department assisted the Sheriff’s Office on scene.
