Two children are listed in stable condition after being pinned by a car against a building.

State Police responded to a three-car accident at the intersection of Wygant and Ridge Roads in the town of Horseheads Saturday afternoon.

A preliminary investigation revealed a 2012 Toyota Highlander, operated by 73-year-old Debra Kenyon, of Horseheads, struck a 2010 BMW operated by 33-year-old Lindsey Runkel of Connecticut. The Highlander then accelerated through the intersection, causing a secondary collision with a parked 2010 Toyota Rav4 in the parking lot of an ice cream stand. This resulted in an 11-year-old and a 13-year-old being pinned next to the building.

Kenyon was uninjured and was issued traffic infractions at the scene. Runkel was also uninjured.

The 11-year-old was airlifted to Upstate Community Hospital and is stable. The 13-year-old was taken by ambulance to Guthrie Robert Packer Hospital and is also stable.

The New York State Police were assisted by the Horseheads Fire Department, Town and Country Fire Department, and Guthrie Air.

This is an active investigation.
