Despite being transported to the hospital for treatment, she died Monday evening from injuries sustained in the collision.

The other people involved also suffered injuries, although authorities reported that the two children were later treated and released. The drivers remained hospitalized but were expected to recover.

Police Investigation

Ogden police determined that failure to yield the right of way was a primary contributing factor in the crash.

Traffic on Union Street has the right of way at the intersection, while traffic traveling along Stony Point Road is controlled by stop signs.

The 74-year-old driver of the sedan was issued a ticket for failing to yield the right of way at a stop sign.

Police said drugs and alcohol were not factors in the collision.

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, Spencerport Fire District, Gates Volunteer Ambulance Service and Jim’s Service assisted at the scene.
