A Ford Escape driven by Kenneth Fredrickson, 49, of Elgin collided with the front of a Honda Civic driven by Abigail Pedersen, 33, of Batavia around 4:05 p.m. April 24 in a bizarre crash at the intersection of East Fabyan Parkway and Crissey Avenue (Route 25).
According to Geneva police reports, Pedersen’s Civic was stopped waiting to turn left on a green light at State Route 25 (Crissey Avenue) and East Fabyan Parkway when Fredrickson’s westbound Escape left the road, drove into the parkway between an electric box and a traffic signal pole, drove back onto the roadway, struck the Civic and “proceeded to drive away without stopping,” reports said.
A witness described the driver as a white male, balding, with glasses. Fredrickson was arrested on charges of reckless driving/aggravated reckless driving and driving while license suspended or revoked. He also received a warning notice for leaving the scene of an accident with vehicle damage. He has a court date of June 11.
