70-Year-Old Man Killed in Sunday Canandaigua Crash
A fatal crash remains under investigation in Ontario County.
According to a written release from the New York State Police, troopers were called to the scene of a one-car crash on Lake Hill Road in Canandaigua at approximately 7:49pm on Sunday, July 24, 2022.
When police arrived the NYSP says investigators found a car crashed near a utility box. Police say the driver was headed south "and drove off the east shoulder and struck a utility box causing minor damage."
The driver, identified as 70-year-old Daniel Rice from Canandaigua, was unresponsive when emergency responders arrived. He was brought to the F.F. Thompson Hospital in Canandaigua where he was pronounced deceased.
At this time it is not known what caused Rice to veer off of the road. The NYSP says they "are not ruling out a possible medical event" that may have taken place immediately before the crash.
