A Penfield man remains hospitalized following a serious two-car crash on Route 441 in Brighton on Thursday.

Brighton Police Chief Mark Henderson said Alexander R. Cohen, 27, suffered life-threatening injuries. He is in guarded condition at Strong Memorial Hospital's Intensive Care Unit on Friday, according to a hospital spokesman.

Cohen was driving west on Route 441, approaching Linden Avenue, when his vehicle collided with an eastbound car driven by Joseph A. Marino, 82, of Pittsford, Henderson said. Marino had attempted a left turn from the eastbound lanes onto Linden and was not injured in the crash

The crash occurred before 9 a.m. Thursday and snarled traffic in the area for several hours.

Marino was issued a ticket for failure to proceed with caution as the intersection had a flashing yellow light, Henderson said.
