One person was killed Friday evening after a vehicle left Townsendville Road, struck a tree and went airborne in the town of Lodi, according to New York State Police.
Troopers responded to the single-vehicle crash around 6:56 p.m. Sept. 4. A preliminary investigation found a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze was traveling south on Townsendville Road when it went off the east shoulder and struck a tree.
Police said the vehicle then went airborne before coming to rest off the west shoulder of the road.
The driver, who was the vehicle’s only occupant, was pronounced dead at the scene and extricated by emergency personnel. State police did not identify the driver in their initial release.
The Seneca County Coroner’s Office responded and directed that the body be transported to Cayuga Medical Center in Ithaca.
State police from the Waterloo barracks and the Bureau of Criminal Investigation are continuing to investigate the crash.
