By Howard B. Owens

A Batavia man was seriously injured in Rochester on Thursday night when his SUV was struck head-on by an alleged drunken driver.

Jason Juliano, 28, who is a local businessman and active in community theater, is reportedly out of intensive care and is now listed in satisfactory condition at Strong Memorial Hospital, according to the Democrat & Chronicle.

Juliano was driving east on the Inner Loop at 9:35 p.m. when a reportedly wrong-way driver hit his SUV and then a third SUV plowed into the collision.

According to the D&C, Juliano suffered a broken femur and head and facial injuries.

The alleged wrong-way driver, Evangaline Roscoe, 38, of Rochester, is being charged with DWI.

Very sad- if I'm not mistaken, Jason was a regular feature at past GOArt Picnics in the Park, serving in capacity as a very young and very talented magician. I feel as though I have watched him grow up through my own, lengthy affiliation with that event. I hope he makes a full recovery.
