On the 24th of July, 2020, at 5:45p.m. the Wyoming County Sheriff\u2019s Office was requested to the Wyoming County Community Hospital for the report of a Motor Vehicle Accident that had occurred shortly before and the vehicle occupants were seeking medical treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Raymond J. Esner, 63, of Lancaster was operating a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado southbound on State Route 19 in the Town of Middlebury. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Esner reported that while driving, his right side tire had left the paved portion of the roadway which deterred his vehicle further towards the ditch.

Minor damage to the culvert and driveway occurred. The vehicle sustained heavy front end damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following the accident, Esner\u2019s front seat passenger, Peter E. Haas, 73, of Depew, was observed bleeding from the head.
