LEROY, N.Y. — A man is dead after his moped collided with a car in LeRoy on Monday evening.
Genesee County sheriff’s deputies say the Vespa moped and the car were traveling in opposite directions on State Route 19 and crashed around 6:45 p.m. They identified the crash victim as Duane Girdner, 65, of Rochester.
Deputies say the car didn’t stop at a sign approaching the intersection with the I-490 on-ramp and the car’s rear passenger door swiped the moped. The impact left Girdner pinned under his moped.
Medical crews, LeRoy Fire crews, and bystanders tried to save Girdner but he died at the scene. The sheriff’s office is still investigating the crash. There is no word on any possible charges.
