Afton accident claims life of local resident
AFTON– Yesterday afternoon an elderly couple traveling through the Village of Afton lost control of their vehicle and collided into a nearby tree resulting in a lethal accident.
Marian O. Corey Fountain, 76, Algerine Street, Afton, was pronounced dead at the scene. The Chenango County Medical Examiner, Dr. John Cruz made the decision shortly after a brief medical examination following the accident and declared the cause of death was due to “massive chest trauma,” said police.
The driver was the woman’s husband, George W. Fountain, 82, of Algerine Street, Afton.
The New York State Troopers investigating the scene reported that the likely cause of the wreck was the driver falling asleep behind the wheel. The car had careened off the road, struck a curb, a mailbox and then slammed into a tree causing both air bags to deploy.
The driver suffered minor injuries, mostly scraps and bruises, and was transported by ambulance to Wilson Regional Medical Center in Johnson City. He was later released.
The Troopers charged Fountain with reckless driving and he is scheduled to appear in court at a later date.
