Cattaraugus County Man Killed In I-86 Crash

A Cattaraugus County man who reportedly drove the wrong way on Interstate 86 was killed when his sedan struck another vehicle Wednesday.

The Cattaraugus County Sheriff’s Office said the 45-year-old Olean man, who was not identified by name, was driving east in the westbound lane in the town of Olean when his vehicle struck a pickup truck head on at about 7:12 p.m.

Following the collision, the sedan spun out in the center median coming to rest facing west. The pickup truck — occupied by two men — rolled over, coming to rest on its roof. The two men were transported to Olean General Hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
