CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY, NY – A State Thruway maintenance worker lost their life Monday morning in a pedestrian crash on Interstate 90 near Irving, reports Observer.
The fatal incident took place on the westbound side of I-90 (NY State Thruway) at mile marker 455.2, near the Buffalo Road overpass and Exit 58 to Silver Creek and Irving. At around 8:00 a.m., County EMS, Silver Creek and Irving fire department crews, local law enforcement, and a coroner were dispatched to the scene.
