Greece, NY (September 7, 2026) – A crash at the intersection of West Ridge Road and Manitou Road turned into a hit-and-run Monday afternoon, according to the Greece Police Department, after the driver believed responsible left the scene. The crash happened around 1:42 p.m. No information about injuries or property damage has been released.
Greece Police are now looking for two people connected to the crash. Investigators describe the vehicle involved as a gray GMC Acadia carrying switched plates, meaning the plates on the vehicle were not registered to it.
Anyone who recognizes the suspects or vehicle, or who has other information about the crash, is asked to call the Greece Police Department tip line at 585-581-4016 or email tips to GPDTips@GreeceNY.gov.
This is a developing story. Details may change as the investigation continues.
Hit-and-Run Accidents in Upstate New York
When the driver responsible for a crash leaves the scene, it does not close off a victim’s options.
- Even when the at-fault driver has not been identified, a claim may be available under the victim’s own uninsured motorist coverage
- Surveillance footage, dashcam video, and witness accounts near the intersection often matter more in a hit-and-run than in a typical crash, and they disappear quickly
- Anyone involved should see a doctor even if they feel fine at the scene, since some injuries take a day or more to show up
- Under New York law, you generally have three years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury claim (CPLR § 214)
Because the driver in this case has not yet been identified, any potential claim would currently run through the victim’s own insurance coverage rather than against the fleeing driver directly, unless and until Greece Police make an identification.
