Information from a provided press release
The Wyoming County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a fatal motor vehicle collision which
occurred on State Route 20A at the Orangeville and Warsaw Town border on May 2, 2025.
At 8:21a.m., Wyoming County Emergency Dispatchers were notified by a Warsaw Police Officer
of an attempted traffic stop where a vehicle fled at a high rate of speed. The vehicle fled up
West Buffalo Street and into the Town of Warsaw.
A short time later, the Warsaw Police Officer located two vehicles which had collided head-on at State Route 20A at the Orangeville and Warsaw Town border. The fleeing vehicle was located down an embankment and on fire, and the other uninvolved vehicle was stopped in the roadway.
A passenger in the uninvolved vehicle was found to be deceased as emergency personnel arrived,
and the driver of that vehicle remains listed in stable condition at ECMC.
The driver of the fleeing vehicle was pulled from the burning vehicle by law enforcement and
good Samaritans and was rendered lifesaving efforts. The driver of the fleeing vehicle was later
pronounced dead at the Wyoming County Community Hospital.
Further investigation revealed the fleeing vehicle had previously been reported as a stolen vehicle out of Nassau County, NY.
Names are being withheld at this time until proper notifications are made. Further updates will
be released next week.
