CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY, N.Y. — State Police have identified those involved in a crash with a passenger car and Thruway platform lift truck on Monday afternoon.
Just before 1:30, State Police were dispatched to investigate a serious crash on I-90 eastbound in the Chautauqua County town of Pomfret.
Troopers say a 2006 Porsche Cayenne, driven by 70-year-old Thomas Sweat of Buffalo, was driving in the left lane when the car veered off the left side of the road for reasons still unknown. The vehicle corrected back into the lane before overcorrecting back to the left shoulder of the road where it hit the back end of the Thruway truck.
Despite lifesaving measures at the scene, Sweat succumbed to his injuries. His passenger, 57-year-old Angela Singletary of Buffalo was taken by Mercy Flight to ECMC where she's being treated for serious, but not life-threatening injuries.
The Thruway employee, Christopher Cady, 52, of Sherman was in the truck when it was hit and suffered minor injuries.
