Crash and Rollover Kills Woman in Denmark, New York
One person is dead and another receiving treatment following a crash in the Lewis County town of Denmark last night.
The woman, 31-year-old Carthage resident Emily S. Ashline, was driving a 2016 GMC Terrain eastbound on Deer River Road on Saturday, November 6, 2021 at approximately 10:37pm when it appears that she lost control of the car. Troopers say she was driving on a curve and crossed over into the westbound lane, hitting a barbed wire fence and wooden fence posts. The car then crossed back into the eastbound lane, and down an embankment.
The car landed on its roof near the edge of the Deer River.
The driver, Ashline, was pronounced dead at the scene. In a written release the New York State Police says a 34-year-old passenger, whose name has not yet officially been made public, was brought to Lewis County General Hospital for treatment. She has since been released.
The NYSP say that their investigation is continuing.
