Two people are recovering after a two-car crash with injuries on Tuesday.

The Oneida County Sheriff's Office says deputies were called to Route 13 in Vienna, New York at approximately 4:00pm on Monday, June 27, 2022.

According to a written release Sheriff Rob Maciol says their preliminary investigation reveals that "Laurence F. Plumley, 82, of Blossvale was operating a 2014 Jeep suburban and was stopped in traffic when his vehicle was struck from behind by a 2015 Chevrolet sedan operated by Gabriell K. LaBarge, 28, of Sandy Creek.  Both vehicles then continued off from the west side of Route 13 and into the ditch."

Plumley and LaBarge sustained injuries believed to be non-life-threatening.  Emergency responders from North Bay Fire and Rescue and Vineall Ambulance assisted at the scene.  Both parties were brought to Oneida Health by Vineall Ambulance.

LaBarge was cited by authorities for following too closely and Aggravated Unlicensed Operation in the Third Degree.  She is scheduled to answer the charges in court at a future date.

Anyone with information that might be helpful to the investigation is asked to call police.
