DUNKIRK — The New York State Police is continuing its investigation into a crash involving a train that killed a 63-year-old Dunkirk man late Monday morning.
The collision between a CSX train hauling three tankers and a pickup truck occurred on Temple Road, between Route 5 and Willow Road, in the town of Dunkirk around 11:45 p.m. The crash forced the truck — which sustained significant driver-side damage — about a half-mile down the tracks.
The lone occupant of the truck was identified by the state police as William D. Miller, who was pronounced dead at the scene by a Chautauqua County coroner.
Police were assisted Monday by firefighters from West Dunkirk, Fredonia and Forestville, along with county EMS.
The crash remains under investigation, Capt. Eric Balon said.
