Another Pedestrian Struck

Following the incident that Maura reported on Friday night where a pedestrian and police officer were struck on Route 96B, another pedestrian was struck by a vehicle on Route 17 in Elmira on Saturday night. The person later died from the collision.

The accident took place at 9:00 PM on Saturday night. The pedestrian was on the eastbound lane of state Route 17 when struck by the vehicle. Investigators closed down the eastbound lane but allowed westbound traffic to go through.

No further information was provided as to the identity of the pedestrian or the person operating the vehicle. Here's a map showing the area where the accident occurred on Route 17 in Elmira.
