Lori Miller, 57, of Watertown, was killed in a one-vehicle car crash on Main Street in Mexico on Saturday night, according to New York State Police.
What Happened on Main Street in Mexico
Troopers responded to the village of Mexico shortly before 10 p.m. Saturday and found the vehicle near the intersection of Main Street and North Street. Miller, the driver, was westbound on Main Street in a 2006 Jeep. State Police said the Jeep left the north shoulder of the road in a curve, then struck a guardrail and continued off the roadway. The Jeep hit several trees before it came to a stop. Miller was the only person in the vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Where the State Police Investigation Stands
The crash remains under investigation by New York State Police. Crews from the Mexico Fire Department, McFee Ambulance and the Oswego County Sheriff's Department also helped at the scene. Police have not announced any charges.
Investigators write down the weather, lighting and road surface after every serious crash. Recording those details is routine and does not point to any single cause.
