PERTH - Three people were injured in a two-vehicle crash Wednesday, including a teenager who was flown by helicopter to Albany Medical Center Hospital.

Fulton County sheriff's deputies investigated the crash at 2:24 p.m. Wednesday at Steers and Smith roads.

Deputies said driver Constance L. Bollen, 61, of 111 Union Mills Road, Galway, and a passenger in her car - Jeffrey J. Hoyt, 15 - both complained of pain over their entire bodies. Both were taken to Nathan Littauer Hospital.

Another passenger in the car - Sean H. Farina, 16 - complained of pain to the shoulder or upper arm. Deputies said he was flown by medical helicopter to Albany Med.

Deputies said a sport utility vehicle driven by Timothy J. Robertshaw, 68, of 47 Catherine St., Amsterdam was eastbound on Smith Road. Deputies said the Bollen vehicle was southbound on Steers Road.

Bollen stated at the scene she was not familiar with the road and didn't see a stop sign before she drove through the intersection and into the path of the Robertshaw vehicle, deputies said.

Bollen was ticketed on charges of suspended or revoked registration and failure to stop at a stop sign.

If you aren't familiar with the road why would you be going so fast you couldn't see the stop sign. This is a road you shouldn't be speeding on in the first place with all the turns, and it is not a hidden stop, there's plenty of time to see it.

Marmoset....So what?? Maybe if it was you or someone you cared about then you would think a little different. Maybe if the "old ass lady" as you put it was your mother then you would care. First of all grow up and then go back to skool and lern how too spel.
