Fatal Rochester car crash death of Ricardo Carrero Chico

Emergency responders from the local sheriff’s office were dispatched to I-590 South in the vicinity of Browncroft Boulevard following reports of a serious traffic collision that resulted in multiple vehicles being involved. Their arrival at the scene occurred shortly after 2:36 p.m. Local law enforcement conducted a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident. The official findings indicated that a white sedan, operated by a 17-year-old resident of Rochester named Ricardo Carrero Chico, lost directional control while moving northbound on the highway. This loss of control led the vehicle to cross the central median barrier and enter the southbound flow of traffic, where it subsequently collided with two other automobiles. Tragically, Mr. Carrero Chico was confirmed deceased at the precise location of the accident. Medical professionals assessed the other occupants of the two struck vehicles and determined that they suffered only minor physical harm, subsequently transporting them to nearby healthcare facilities for medical assessment and treatment. The severity of the crash resulted in the temporary closure of the southern section of I-590, specifically between Empire Boulevard and Blossom Road, halting all traffic movement as first responders and other emergency personnel completed their operations. This closure was lifted approximately four hours after the initial contact with authorities, restoring normal traffic flow around 5:00 p.m. that same day.

Mr. Carrero Chico was a recent honoree at Rochester’s East Upper School graduation ceremonies. His educational institution, the Rochester City School District, expressed profound sorrow upon learning about his passing, referring to his death as a deeply tragic occurrence. The district conveyed its collective grief over the passing of a dedicated student from their East Upper School community, Ricardo Carrero Chico, who was officially recognized as part of the Class of 2025.
