CHEMUNG COUNTY, NY (WENY) -- Wyncoop Creek Road is closed due to a golf cart accident that resulted in traumatic injuries, according to initial reports from authorities. 

A WENY News reporter at the scene confirmed that emergency crews, including firefighters, EMS, and police, were all on site around midnight.

The road is shut down in both directions from the race track area to Rotary Road, so it's recommended to find another route when traveling.

At this time, the cause of the accident is still unclear or how many people were involved.

This is a developing story.
