Schenectady, NY (March 10, 2021) – Around 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday evening, March 10, a serious car accident took place at an intersection in Schenectady.

Authorities with the Schenectady Police Department said the rollover crash sent two people to the hospital. Paramedics were dispatched to the scene at Albany Street and Van Zandt Street. It’s unclear how many vehicles were involved in the wreck, though they say the car with the two victims rolled onto the lawn of St. Paul the Apostle Roman Catholic Church.

Schenectady Firefighters responded and tended to the driver and a passenger in the vehicle. Both were then transported to Albany Medical Center via ambulance for treatment. Further information on their conditions was not immediately available, and the investigation into the crash is ongoing.

Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families in hopes of a full recovery.
