Press release
On October 2, a plane crash occurred in the Town of Pembroke that resulted in multiple agencies and departments working together for several days and nights to secure and process the site location.
On behalf of the Sheriff’s Office and the citizens of Genesee County, I would like to thank the Corfu, Pembroke, East Pembroke, Darien and Elba fire department volunteers; Genesee and Orleans County coroners; Wyoming County forensic anthropologist; Genesee County Emergency Management Office; all the local and state law enforcement officers; and Emergency Services Dispatchers for their dedicated service during this incident. Once again, we experienced the professional cooperation amongst our law enforcement agencies, emergency service responders, government officials, and community leaders.
I would also like to sincerely thank the landowner of the crash site and neighbors for their patience while the days-long investigation was conducted and press conferences were held.
~Sheriff William A. Sheron, Jr.
