The Wyoming County Sheriff’s Office is investigating an injury accident which occurred this

morning on East Arcade Road in the Town of Arcade.

Multiple agencies responded to the report of a female who had been run over by a vehicle. Upon

over a 58 year old female while on private property. The injured female, who will remain

unnamed at this time, had a severe lower leg injury and torso injuries. An Arcade Police Officer, who had responded to the scene to assist, applied a tourniquet to the injured leg to control bleeding, and other medical care was provided by Arcade Fire Department.
