CANTON, N.Y. - Timothy M. Lamb, 19, of Madrid, N.Y. was operating a green 1993 Dodge Caravan and stopped at a stop sign on Pink Schoolhouse Road in Canton heading northeast. Roxanne W. Vaughan, 47, of Russell, N.Y. was operating a white 2001 Ford heading south on CR 25. Lamb failed to see Vaughan's vehicle approaching and entered the intersection. Vaughan was unable to avoid Lamb, and struck his vehicle on the driver's side, causing extensive damage to both vehicles.
Lamb complained of knee and left side pain. Vaughan complained of abdominal pain and a head injury from being struck by a can of paint during the collision.
There were five passengers in Lamb's vehicle, three of whom were juveniles, with the following injuries:
