OXFORD – First responders and Chenango County Sheriff's deputies reported to the scene of a one-car rollover with entrapment Friday evening along the north bound side of State Highway 12, just south of the Village of Oxford, officials said.

According to Lt. Richard Cobb of the CCSO, Chenango dispatch received a vehicle and traffic complaint by a third party passerby of a northbound vehicle traveling erratically.

According to the report, the vehicle eventually came to a complete stop in the travel lane of the highway. The third party approached the vehicle to check the welfare status of the occupants and witnessed two individuals – one male, one female – who appeared to be “asleep” within the stopped vehicle.

According to Lt. Cobb, the passerby then attempted to wake the subjects, who became startled when roused and then fled that location in the Town of Brisben.

At that time, the passerby notified Chenango County 911 who dispatched sheriff’s deputies to that area.

The vehicle continued traveling erratically northbound for approximately another six miles when the operator veered left into the southbound lane and then overcorrected to the right at which point he lost control of the vehicle, said authorities. As it exited the roadway, the vehicle rolled over onto private property and came to rest on the east side of highway 12 near Mill Brook Rd.
