The Ontario County Sheriff’s Office reports that they responded along with Phelps ambulance and fire personnel to the scene. The crash reportedly involved a dump truck and farm tractor, which was confirmed upon arrival.
Deputies say Joseph Tyler, 41, of Newark was operating the tractor southbound on Route 88 and attempted to turn east onto Gardner Road.
Deputies say that Mark Johncox, 50, of Newark was operating a Riccelli owned dump truck and attempted to pass the tractor.
