Geneseo, NY – A section of East Lake Road in Livingston County has been shut down Friday following a motor vehicle crash that brought down utility lines, authorities said.
According to the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office, the closure impacts East Lake Road between Wilkins Tract and Vanzandt Road. Emergency crews, including fire, police and EMS, responded to the scene shortly after the incident. The sheriff’s office urged motorists to avoid the area until further notice while crews work to restore safety.
Officials did not immediately release details on the number of vehicles involved or whether there were any injuries. Utility crews have also been dispatched to address the downed power lines, which are creating hazardous conditions in the roadway.
The sheriff’s office said updates will be provided as the response continues. Drivers are encouraged to seek alternate routes around the affected stretch of roadway, which serves as a connector in the lakeside area.
Road closures in the county have been frequent in recent months due to weather, accidents, and utility repairs. Local authorities remind drivers to remain alert and follow posted detours when emergency crews are on scene.
Further information regarding the cause of the crash or the estimated time of reopening for East Lake Road was not immediately available Friday.
