Pittsford, NY (December 1, 2025) – Police agencies responded to two scenes in Pittsford Monday morning following a crash that resulted in the apprehension of two individuals wanted in connection with crimes in Ontario County.
The incident was reported around 4:45 a.m., and deputies observed at the crash scenes on Jefferson Road and nearby Greylock Ridge. Soon after, the Sheriff’s Office reported assisting the Ontario County Sheriff’s Office with locating and apprehending the suspects.
A K-9 unit from the Rochester Police Department was utilized in locating the two individuals. The Sheriff’s Office confirmed that the suspects were taken into custody and that there is no ongoing threat to the public. The collision and subsequent police action required a major law enforcement presence in the area.
Understanding Liability After a Crash in New York
While the crash in Pittsford was a consequence of a police operation, any victims who suffered property damage or physical injury may have grounds for a negligence claim. Law enforcement agencies and municipalities in New York can be held liable if their actions during a pursuit or apprehension are deemed reckless or negligent and lead to a collision.
Liability may involve multiple agencies, including the Ontario County Sheriff’s Office, the agency conducting the chase, and the municipality where the crash occurred. Victims must demonstrate that the pursuit created an unreasonable risk to the public that outweighs the need to apprehend the suspects.
The most crucial step for any injured person or vehicle owner is to adhere to New York’s short deadline for filing a claim against a government entity. A formal Notice of Claim must typically be served on the appropriate municipality within 90 days of the accident date. Failure to meet this requirement can result in the loss of the right to seek compensation.
