Livingston County authorities say a driver is presumed dead after crashing into a building early Tuesday morning in Leicester. The crash caused a fire that destroyed the building.
The Livingston County Sheriff’s Office says this happened on Cuylerville Road near Canandaigua Street. The car hit the building just before 7:00 a.m. They’re not sure why the driver went off the road.
Firefighters arrived to find the building fully engulfed in flames, with the car still stuck inside. Sheriff Tom Dougherty says firefighters were unable to reach the car and were unable to extricate the driver. It’s not yet known if there were any passengers in the car.
The building housed a couple of businesses, and nobody was believed to be inside at that early hour. The building sits on a near 90-degree bend in the road known as the “Culyerville Curve.”
