Update on Fatal Accidents
An Olean man is dead after a head-on collision Sunday on Route 417 in Wellsville. Police say a vehicle driven by 42-year-old John Gibbons IV crossed the center ine and hit a vehicle driven by 19-year-old Stanley Kruszewski of Maryland. Gibbons is the son of former Olean Fire Chief John Gibbons III. Gibbons was pronounced dead at the scene. Kruszewski was treated for leg injuries at an area hospital. Police are continuing their investigation.
A Rochester man is dead following an accident on Interstate 86 that closed down the highway for several hours. Salamanca Police say 52-year-old Joseph Green was driving an empty gas tanker truck west on the expressway when he apparently became ill. The tanker went off the road into a muddy patch in the median but was not seriously damaged. Green was taken unresponsive by a Seneca Nation fire department ambulance to Olean General Hospital. He died as a result of the illness, not the accident. The accident happened between exits 21 and 22, and backed up traffic for about 5 hours
