MURRAY — A Niagara County man was injured when a Hummer partially crushed his car Saturday in this Orleans County town.

Paul H. Fackiam, 49, of Middleport had stopped his Honda in the eastbound lane at 16131 Ridge Road, waiting to make a left turn into a store parking lot, according to the Orleans County Sheriff's Department.

His car was rear-ended by a Hummer, which then rode up over the top of the Honda, partially crushing it.

A State Police helicopter flew Fackiam to Strong Memorial Hospital. He was in satisfactory condition Sunday. His wife, Teresa, 49, who was in the front passenger seat, was treated at Strong and released.

The driver of the Hummer, Matthew E. Luce, 28, of Pittsford was not injured, police said.
