Jamesville woman crashes SUV into mailbox, tree; vehicle catches fire, police say

Pompey, N.Y. — A Jamesville woman was injured Sunday after she crashed a sport utility vehicle into a mailbox and tree, state police said.

The SUV caught fire after the crash, around 2 p.m., in front of 3584 Sweet Road in the town of Pompey, Trooper Jack Keller said.

Firefighters extricated the driver, Kimberly D. Fairbanks, 42, from the 2017 Chevrolet Tahoe, the trooper said.

Fairbanks was driving the Tahoe north on Sweet Road when she drove off the road and crashed, Keller said.

State police investigators believe Fairbanks crashed “due to excessive speed,” he said.

Fairbanks was transported to Upstate University Hospital with non-life threatening injuries, Keller said.

State police are continuing to investigate the crash.
