Minor injury reported in Wednesday evening accident

By Howard B. Owens

One person suffered a minor injury in an accident Wednesday at 6:43 p.m. when the driver of one car reportedly tried to make a left-hand turn on to Batavia-Oakfield Townline Road from Route 63.

Lisa M. Pursel, 39, complained of neck pain following the accident and was transported to UMMC.

Pursel, of 222 Liberty St., Batavia,  was driving a 2006 Toyota sedan northbound on Route 63 when she attempted to go around an uninvolved southbound vehicle that was also making a left-hand turn.

It appears Pursel did not observe the oncoming, southbound car of Jason Siverling, 35, of 57 Redfield Parkway, Batavia.

Siverling had his three children, ages 2 to 6, with him in his car at the time of the accident. Neither Siverling nor any of the children reported any injuries.

The accident was investigated by Deputy Chris Parker.
