A woman died Monday after a collision between her motorcycle and an SUV at a busy intersection in Seneca County.
Tracy Ann Templeton, 68, of Waterloo, was pronounced dead at Geneva General Hospital following the crash, which occurred around 3:15 p.m. at Sessler Drive and Border City Road in the Town of Waterloo.
According to the Seneca County Sheriff’s Office, Templeton’s motorcycle struck the driver’s side of a sport utility vehicle operated by Joseph F. Greene, 43, of Romulus. Templeton was ejected from the motorcycle, and despite life-saving efforts by first responders, she succumbed to her injuries at the hospital.
After investigating the scene, authorities determined Greene failed to yield the right of way at a stop sign. He was issued a citation for Failure to Yield the Right of Way.
Border City Road remained closed for approximately two hours while deputies conducted a reconstruction and investigation. The Sheriff’s Office was assisted by New York State Police, Border City Fire Department, and North Seneca Ambulance.
