The New York State Police in Painted Post are investigating a fatal motor vehicle crash that occurred on Grinnold Road in the town of Troupsburg, Steuben County.

On January 1, 2026, at approximately 6:56 a.m., New York State Police were dispatched to Grinnold Road for a reported rollover crash involving a plow truck with reported entrapment. Prior to the troopers’ arrival, the operator was extricated from the vehicle and transported by emergency medical services to St. James Hospital.

Troopers located a 2024 Freightliner plow truck off the south shoulder of the roadway, resting on its passenger side. The vehicle had exited the roadway for an unknown reason. While on scene, troopers were notified that the operator, a 44-year-old male, had succumbed to his injuries while en route to the hospital.

The Steuben County Coroner responded and ordered an autopsy to determine the official cause of death. 

The investigation into the cause of the crash remains ongoing.

So very sad.
