Three separate car accidents occurred in Dryden over the past week or so, resulting in six individuals in total taken to the hospital.
The first accident took place just before 7:30 p.m. on April 20 along State Route 13 near Lower Creek Road. Nineteen-year-old Krista Kelly-Jones of Groton and an 11-year-old female passenger of Groton were traveling northwest on State Route 13 when her Chevy Malibu crossed over the center and struck head-on a Toyota Corolla heading in the opposite direction. The Corolla wound up on top of a guide rail. Twenty-three-year-old Loyd Barker of Lisle was occupying the Corolla.
Both drivers were conscious at the scene, and all three individuals were transported to Upstate Medical Center for treatment. Details on injuries were not shared by New York State police, who responded to the accident, though it was reported by the Ithaca Voice that Kelly-Jones received lacerations.
