A Delaware driver was taken to Corning Hospital after a one-vehicle crash in Yates County earlier this month, deputies said.
The crash happened around 4:35 p.m. June 11 near State Route 14A and State Route 230 in the town of Barrington, according to the Yates County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said Garnette H. Erskin, 54, of Newark, Delaware, was traveling east in rainy conditions and failed to negotiate a turn on Route 14A.
The vehicle struck the south-side ditch, re-entered the roadway, crossed Route 230 and entered the south-side ditch again, according to the sheriff’s office.
Deputies said Erskin suffered a head injury and was transported to Corning Hospital. The release described the incident as a motor vehicle crash with injuries.
Erskin was cited for speed not reasonable and prudent and moving from a lane unsafely, deputies said.
Dundee Fire Department, Dundee Ambulance and Yates County Ambulance assisted at the scene.
