Rolled over vehicle in the Town of Canisteo

PRESS RELEASE
Steuben County 911 dispatched the New York State Police to State Route 36 in the Town of Canisteo for a rolled over vehicle. When police arrived, there were several people standing around the vehicle but apparently the operator had fled the accident. The vehicle had been traveling north on SR 36 in the Town of Canisteo at a high rate of speed and changed lanes striking the guard wire, traveled 125 feet taking out 11 posts, 2 delineators and 1 road sign. The vehicle then overturned and got tangled in the guard wire and came to rest about 75 feet off the roadway. NYS DOT responded and coned off the area and Pro Street Towing removed the vehicle. New York State Police were able to find the owner and operator of the vehicle by checking the registration on the vehicle. Police located Dustin Williams, age 23 of Westfield, PA, who admitted to driving the vehicle and was issued tickets for leaving the scene of a property damage accident, speeding and unsafe lane change.
