Written by Dan Fischer on September 4, 2020
Two people have died as a result of a collision early this morning on the state thruway between Henrietta and LeRoy.
The crash occurred in the westbound lane of the I-90 when a tractor trailer suddenly made a U-turn,over multiple lanes. A westbound vehicle traveling behind the big rig then crashed into of back of the trailer tearing the roof off the vehicle.
The man driving that vehicle was killed instantly, a female passenger was taken to Strong Hospital where she later died.
Troopers said the tractor trailer driver then left the scene and later stopped at a hotel parking lot on Jefferson Road in Henrietta where he apparently pulled a piece of wreckage off the truck. That debris was later found by lawmen.
The crash closed the thruway for several hours this morning between Henrietta and Leroy.
The names of the dead have not been released.
