The incident happened at a Kwik Fill gas station on West Ridge Road near North Avenue in Greece, New York, during the early morning hours. Police responded to reports of a serious crash shortly after 3:00 a.m., where a vehicle had collided with several fuel pumps and structural supports at the gas station.

Emergency crews quickly arrived at the scene to assess the situation and secure the area.
Authorities confirmed that the driver, identified as 29-year-old Joseph “Jayy” Gobble of Brockport, was the only person inside the vehicle at the time of the crash. Sadly, he was pronounced dead at the scene, and the Medical Examiner’s Office was called to investigate the fatal incident.
Witnesses in the area reported hearing a loud noise in the early hours of the morning before emergency vehicles began arriving. Nearby residents described the scene as chaotic, with flashing lights and emergency crews working for several hours as authorities closed parts of the road during the investigation.
