Two Killed In Lake Avenue Crash

An accident on Lake Avenue in Rochester killed two people late Wednesday night. Police say it happened just after 11 p.m. when a Honda Accord was moving north on Lake Ave., and it appears the driver lost control on the slippery road and crossed into the southbound lane.

The car was hit in the passenger side by a Jeep Wrangler traveling south on Lake Avenue.  The driver and passenger of the Accord later died at the hospital.

The driver of the Wrangler  had a possible broken leg.

Lake Avenue was closed for a while between West Ridge Road and Maplewood Drive, but was reopened early Thursday morning.
