DUNKIRK—Three people—including a 4-year-old child—were taken to the hospital following a three-vehicle crash Monday afternoon in the town of Dunkirk, Chautauqua County sheriff’s officials reported.
Authorities said about 2 p. m., Evelia Atayde, 21, of Forestville stopped her minivan at the intersection of Route 60 and Williams Road before proceeding across Route 60 and into the path of a car driven by Ilka Figueroa, 31, of Mullet Street, Dunkirk.
The Figueroa car collided with the minivan, causing it to spin and rollover, crashing into a third vehicle driven by Herbert Horey, 84, of Doughty Street, Dunkirk, whose vehicle was stopped, police said.
Figueroa, 4-year-old Genisis Figueroa, and Atayde were treated at the scene for neck and back pain before being transported to Brooks Memorial Hospital.
