Brantingham, NY- A 48-year-old Maryland woman was
transported to a Utica hospital with an upper arm injury after being struck
by a vehicle while jogging on the Partridgeville
Road in the town of Greig on Sunday evening.
The Lewis County
Sheriff’s Office tells us that Kelly Ledford, 48, of Maryland, was jogging
southwest on the Partridgeville Road, in Brantingham, when she was struck by a vehicle traveling
northeast at approximately 7:45 p.m. The vehicle operator, Neil Pepper, 75,
of Florida, was coming around a curve and did not see Ms. Ledford jogging,
according to the Sheriff’s office, “clipping” her with the front passenger
side of the vehicle.
Ms. Ledford was
transported by Lewis County Search & Rescue to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital
in Utica with a presumed upper arm/shoulder fracture. Mr. Pepper and a
passenger in his vehicle were not injured in the incident. The vehicle had
minor damage to the front passenger side fender and mirror and was able to
be driven from the scene.
No tickets were
issued, according to the Sheriff’s office, with the cause of the accident described
as being due to the rainy conditions at dusk and the obstructed and limited
view on the curve.
The Brantingham and Glenfield Fire Department also assisted
at the scene.
