According to Oneida County Sheriff Robert Maciol, a Utica woman is in stable condition after being airlifted to SUNY Upstate Medical Center in Syracuse due to injuries sustained in a two vehicle crash that occurred on Route 365 at the intersection with Route 26 in the City of Rome just after 7:30 this morning.

Elssy Vintimilla, 50, of Utica was southbound on the Route 26 ramp and was crossing the eastbound lanes of Route 365 when her SUV was struck by an eastbound pickup driven by Andrew Gardner, 33, of Oneida. Although the extent of Vintimilla's injuries is currently unknown, her condition is stable. Gardener was not injured as a result of the crash.

The eastbound lanes of Route 365 in Rome from Henderberg Road to Route 26 were closed for approximately two hours while the crash scene was being processed. The same portion of Route 365 has since been re-opened to all traffic. The investigation is ongoing and no tickets have been issued.

The Oneida County Sheriff's Office was assisted on scene by members of the City of Rome Fire Department, New York State Department of Transportation, AmCare ambulance, and Mercy Flight.
