ATV rider accused of failure to stop for police prior to accident on Creek Road

By Howard B. Owens

An ATV rider faces multiple charges following an accident that occurred after he allegedly failed to stop for law enforcement at 2:18 p.m., Monday, on Creek Road in Batavia.

According to Deputy Chris Parker's report, Adam J. Arsenault, 26, of Hutchins Street, Batavia, was southbound on Creek Road on a 1997 Honda ATV when Parker turned on his emergency lights and attempted to initiate a traffic stop.

Arsenault allegedly failed to stop and then attempted to initiate a left-hand turn onto East Road at a speed too fast to safely complete the turn.

The ATV struck a telephone utility box and then a wire fence ejecting Arsenault.

The rider suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was transported by Mercy EMS to UMMC.

Parker issued citations to Arsenault for allegedly failure to yield to an emergency vehicle, driving an unregistered and uninsured ATV and operating an ATV on a public highway in violation of the law.
