VERONA, N.Y. A 62-year-old Oneida man was flown to a Syracuse hospital after a Verona golf cart crash involving a golf cart and a car on Snyder Road on Tuesday morning, according to New York State Police.

Troopers said they responded to 4524 Snyder Road at about 10:58 a.m. on November 10. Wilbur F. Orcutt, who was operating the golf cart, suffered serious injuries. Police listed him in stable condition at Upstate University Hospital in their November 10 release.

Police describe a preliminary investigation

According to the State Police account, a 2021 Toro golf cart was traveling north through a parking lot before entering Snyder Road. Investigators said it failed to yield to an eastbound 2017 Chevrolet Malibu and the vehicles collided.

Police said Orcutt was thrown from the golf cart. The Chevrolet’s driver and two passengers reported no injuries.

The account is preliminary, and State Police said the investigation remains open. The release does not announce tickets or charges. It does not establish whether speed, impairment, distraction or another factor contributed.

What remains to be confirmed

The hospital condition reflects the police announcement, not a later medical update. The release reports serious injuries, not a death. It does not provide a road reopening time or say whether any restriction remained when the announcement was issued.

This is separate from the October 19 collision at Smith and Spring roads previously covered by Mohawk Valley Voice. That incident involved a Subaru and a pickup truck, not the vehicles in Tuesday’s crash.
