A 24-year-old man died Saturday night in a UTV crash in the town of Arcadia, Wayne County, according to the New York State Police.
Police say the crash occurred around 11:05 p.m. on October 4 on Mount Pleasant Road. Preliminary investigation indicates that an unregistered side-by-side UTV was traveling north on Lembke Road when the operator made a right-hand turn onto Mount Pleasant Road at an unsafe speed. The driver lost control while negotiating the turn, overcorrected, and the vehicle overturned. The operator was partially ejected and suffered fatal head injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Wayne County Coroner responded, and the State Police were assisted by the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office.
The investigation remains ongoing.
