Three people were injured May 8 when the vehicle in which they were traveling skidded out of the control on Freeman Hollow Road in the Town of Bath.

The driver of the car, Valerie Gaudino, 50, of Freeman Hollow Road, allegedly was driving with a suspended license. Police say alcohol may have been a factor in the crash, and charges are pending.

Gaudino suffered multiple fractures and internal injuries and was transported by Bath ambulance e to Corning Hospital.

A front seat passenger, Christina Lewis, 38, was transported by Mercy Flight to Wilson Hospital in Binghamton with fractures to her jaw and ribs.

A backseat passenger, James Rowe, 44, was transported by State Medivac to Arnot-Ogden Hospital in Elmira with a fractured neck.

Troopers were assisted at the scene by Bath fire department volunteers, the Bath Ambulance Corps and Steuben County Sheriff's deputies.

Criminal contempt

State police last week charged Charlene M. Hoad, 23, of 6 Campbell St., Bath, with first-degree criminal contempt, endangering the welfare of a child and second-degree harassment.

Hoard reportedly was involved in a domestic dispute with Walter H. Blodgett, 31, of Corning, even though an order of protection was in effect for her to stay away from Blodgett.

Blodgett himself was charged with third-degree assault and endangering the welfare of a child.

The child endangerment charges stem from the allegation their two-year-old son was in the back seat of their vehicle as they engaged in a physical altercation while driving.
