Theresa, NY (June 28, 2019) – A two-vehicle accident that took place at approximately 3:45 p.m. on Friday, June 28th, is currently under investigation by police. The collision took place at the intersection of Route 37 and Route 411 in the town of Theresa, between a 2001 Chevrolet Malibu and a 2012 Nissan Rogue, according to authorities.
Investigators stated that the operator of the Malibu, identified as 20-year-old Eugene M. Morehouse, of Cheektowaga, was heading east along Route 411 when he stopped at the intersection.

The Malibu was pushed off the roadway and into a field. Emergency responders were at the scene a short time later. A medical helicopter was called to the scene, where Morehouse was airlifted to Upstate Medical Center and has been listed in stable condition at this time. The operator of the Rogue and one passenger, identified as Hannah F. Hodolitz, 21, of Evans Mills, and Christopher R. Valenzuela, respectively, suffered minor injuries and received treatment at Samaritan Medical Center in Watertown.
