Silver Springs man charged in hit and run personal injury crash

Justin R. Bodine, 31 of Silver Springs, was arrested after leaving the scene of a personal injury accident which occurred at 12:45a.m. on December 8, 2017.  Wyoming County Deputies said Bodine was operating his 2006 Chevrolet Silverado northbound on State Route 19A in the Town of Genesee Falls when he failed to negotiate a curve correctly and struck an oncoming vehicle.  The collision caused the operator of the vehicle to sustain an arm injury.  Bodine drove the vehicle from the scene without stopping to check on the other vehicle.  While Wyoming County Sheriff’s Deputies were investigating this accident, a second report of a hit and run motor vehicle accident was reported in the Village of Silver Springs.  Bodine was allegedly driving the same vehicle on Ribaud Avenue in the Village of Silver Springs when he drove the pickup truck into a vacant house.  Bodine again left the scene on foot.  Vehicle parts at the scene on State Route 19A in Genesee Falls determined Bodine’s vehicle was involved in both collisions. 

On December 10, 2017 Bodine turned himself into Wyoming County Sheriff’s Deputies.  Bodine was charged with Leaving the Scene of a Personal Injury Accident (class A misdemeanor), Reckless Driving, Speed Not Reasonable and Prudent, Unsafe Tires, Moved From Lane Unsafely, Driving to Left of Pavement Markings (No Pass Zone), and Failed to Keep Right.  Bodine was released and scheduled to appear in the Town of Genesee Falls Town Court on January 10, 2018 to answer the charges.
