CASSADAGA — The Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Office has released information regarding a tractor trailer/automobile accident Monday morning.

At around 10:45 a.m. deputies responded to the corner of Rt. 60 and Luce Road between Cassadaga and Sinclairville for a report of a tractor trailer and car motor vehicle accident with injury. Upon arrival it was determined that Helen Runge, 75, of Cassadaga was attempting to make a left turn onto Luce Road operating the car.
