(Town of Lysander, NY – Sept. 25, 2011) Onondaga County Sheriff Kevin E. Walsh reports that Sheriff’s Deputies are investigating a car/tractor-trailer accident on Route 370 in the Town of Lysander, which sent one person to the hospital with life threatening injuries.

At approximately 1:46 a.m., Sheriff Deputies responded to a reported car/tractor-trailer collision on Route 370 just west of Tater Road near the Cayuga County line.

Deputies reported that a 2009 Toyota Corrolla, operated by a Paul A. Congleton (26) of English Settlement Road, Ogdensburg was traveling east bound on Route 370 when he crossed the center line into the west bound lane of traffic into the path of a 2003 Kenworth tractor-trailer being operated by John W. Reese (64) of Wiman Avenue, Syracuse.

The force of the tractor-trailer pushed Congleton’s vehicle back several hundred feet before both vehicles came to rest.

Rescue crews from the Plainville, Cato and Baldwinsville Fire Department also responded to the scene, where they had to extricate Congleton from his vehicle, due to the extensive damage caused by the collision.

Congleton was then transported by GBAC ambulance to University Hospital where he is listed in critical condition and is said to have internal injuries with several broken bones.

Reese was not injured but was evaluated at the scene by medical personnel.

Route 370 between Tater Road and the Cayuga County line is closed to all traffic while the Sheriff’s Accident Investigation Unit continues to investigate the scene. Fog weather conditions and alcohol appear to be a factor in Congleton crossing the center line prior to the collision.

Tickets are expected to be issued pending the outcome of the investigation.

(Town of VanBuren, NY – Aug. 12, 2011)  Onondaga County Sheriff Kevin E. Walsh reports that three people were hospitalized after a morning crash.

Yesterday morning (Aug. 12) at approximately 9 a.m., Sheriff’s Deputies responded to the intersection of Downer Street and West Sorrell Hill Road where a 2006 Chrysler 300, operated by Michele Walters, (50), of 35 Buccaneer Bend, collided with a 2000 Dodge Caravan, operated by Keith Conger, (52), of 48 East Oneida Street.

Witnesses stated that Conger was exiting Route 690 south at the Downer Street exit and drove through the stop sign at the end of the off ramp. Appearing as if he was suffering from a medical condition, Conger drove straight through the intersection where his minivan was t-boned by Walters who was traveling east on Downer Street.

Rescue crews from the Baldwinsville Fire Department responded to the scene and extricated Conger from the wreckage.

Conger, who was not wearing a seatbelt, sustained life threatening injuries and was transported by ambulance to University Hospital.

Walters, along with her son Mark Walters, (12), suffered minor injuries and were also transported by ambulance to University Hospital.

Members of the Sheriff’s Accident Investigation Team will continue the investigation.
