Third Fatal Crash in Three Days
A former county legislator is the third person in three days to die in a crash in Chautauqua County.
73-year-old John Dillenburg died Tuesday afternoon when his van and a tractor-trailer collided in Sheridan.
Dillenburg served eight years in the Chautauqua County Legislature. He also was an Arkwright town supervisor and had served as the mayor of Forestville.
Sheriff’s deputies say the crash happened on Route 20 when Dillenburg did not yield the right-of-way to a tractor-trailer driven by 41-year-old Mario Estrada-Solis of Ontario, Canada, and the vehicle collided.
Dillenburg was pronounced dead at the scene. Estrada-Solis was not hurt. Witnesses told deputies that speed was not a factor in the crash.
On Sunday, a Stow man died in motorcycle crash. On Monday, a Forestville man died in another motorcycle crash.
