According to the official press release on the Roosevelt Fire District Facebook page, Roosevelt Fire was dispatched to the scene of the accident just before 10am. The accident had occurred at the intersection of route 9G and North Cross Road.

Initial reports stated that the accident lead to "...possible ejection and entrapment."

Upon arriving at the scene, Roosevelt Fire found that initial reports were at the very least somewhat inaccurate as there was "no entrapment" and reports were "conflicting" as to whether or not any occupants of the vehicles had been ejected.

Even with conflicting reports, the accident itself was indeed serious and once first responders properly analyzed the situation, the call was made to bring in "additional resources" to properly handle the number of individuals who were "seriously injured".

The additional resources in this instance was for two (2) Medivacs.

The press release goes on to state that...

Due to the proximity of the hospital, the decision was made to divert the medivacs to Mid Hudson Regional Hospital to meet the ground transport units.
