A Rochester man has been charged in connection with a two-car accident that happened Sunday afternoon in the town of Ontario.
It is alleged that Willie Mathews failed to stop for a stop sign at the intersection of Ridge Road and State Route 350 and collided with another vehicle. Mathews is then accused of fleeing the scene but was stopped a short time later and taken into custody after the Wayne County 9-1-1 Center received many calls regarding a heavily damaged car driving down Ridge Road.
The 65-year-old Mathews was charged with aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, failure to stop at a stop sign, unlicensed operation, leaving the scene of a property damage accident, uninspected motor vehicle, and displaying a forged instrument. No injuries were reported from the accident.
The Wayne County Sheriff’s Office was assisted at the scene by Ontario Fire and New York State Police.
