Chili, NY (July 27, 2025) – On Sunday, a severe injury accident on the eastbound lanes of Route 490 trapped multiple occupants inside their vehicle, requiring a complex extrication. The crash took place near the Union Street overpass in the Town of Chili and drew a large, multi-agency response during daylight hours.
Emergency crews arriving at the scene were met with at least one heavily damaged vehicle and individuals who could not exit without assistance. Firefighters employed hydraulic rescue tools to free the trapped parties while Advanced Life Support (ALS) paramedics were staged to provide immediate medical treatment. At least one person was transported from the scene to a nearby trauma facility for evaluation of a range of injuries.
The collision caused significant traffic delays for over an hour on the major highway as crews worked to clear vehicle debris and manage potential fluid spills. Authorities are now conducting an investigation into the cause of the crash, examining whether high speeds or issues with merging along the high-risk corridor may have contributed to the incident.
We are keeping all those injured in this devastating accident in our thoughts and wish them a full and swift recovery.
