Marion, NY (June 23, 2025) – A motorcyclist was injured Monday night in a collision with a pickup truck in the Town of Marion, according to the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office.
The crash occurred at approximately 10:22 p.m. on Walworth Marion Road. Deputies say a westbound pickup truck operated by 38-year-old Anna Parker of Marion attempted to turn left onto Huntley Road and failed to yield the right of way to an eastbound motorcycle.
The motorcycle was operated by 20-year-old Caitlyn Harrington of Walworth. She sustained injuries to her arm and leg and was transported by ambulance to Strong Memorial Hospital for treatment. The extent of her injuries has not been further disclosed.
Parker was issued a traffic ticket for failure to yield the right of way at an intersection and is scheduled to appear in Marion Town Court at a later date.
The Marion Fire Department and Western Wayne Ambulance assisted at the scene. The incident remains under investigation.
We extend our best wishes to Caitlyn Harrington and hope for a full and swift recovery.
Motorcycle Accidents in New York
Motorcyclists in New York, especially in regions like Syracuse, Binghamton, and Albany, face serious risks on the road. Unlike drivers in enclosed vehicles, riders lack physical protection, making even low-speed crashes potentially life-threatening. Common causes include driver inattention, blind-spot collisions, and failure to yield.
While motorcyclists have the same rights as other drivers, insurance companies often stereotype riders as reckless, which can unfairly reduce or delay legitimate claims. Legal issues such as helmet use, lane usage, and shared fault frequently arise in disputed motorcycle accident cases.
In New York, seriously injured motorcyclists can pursue compensation beyond no-fault benefits, including claims for pain and suffering, long-term medical care, and lost income. Early involvement from a motorcycle accident attorney can be the difference between a dismissed claim and a full recovery, especially when insurers dispute fault or downplay injuries.
