Two Fatal Accidents

A Rochester man is dead following an accident on Interstate 86 that closed down the highway for several hours. Police say a 52-year-old man 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. The driver, who was not identified pending notification of his family, was taken unresponsive by a Seneca Nation fire department ambulance to Olean General Hospital.

An Olean man died in a two-vehicle accident in near Wellsville Sunday afternoon. State troopers have not released the man's name, and their investigation is continuing.
