OXFORD – As a police investigation continues into a fatal Oxford accident that caused the death of a 22-year-old Greene woman, officers said preliminary information indicated no crimes were committed but a truck driver was at fault and would be ticketed.

Chenango County Sheriff Ernest Cutting reported that at approximately 7 a.m. Wednesday the Sheriff’s Office 911 Center received a report of an accident involving three southbound vehicles along State Route 12, at the turn-off for the South Oxford Bridge Road.

Police said Kathryn Frear, died in the accident after her car was caught between the two commercial trucks also involved in the accident. (An obituary for Frear can be read on Page 5.)

Chenango County Sheriff's Lt. Joshua Gould said the preliminary investigation into the cause of the crash did not reveal any obvious signs that would lead to criminal charges, but police were still waiting for official medical results from a forensic lab before making a final determination.

The driver of one of those trucks, Kenneth Price of Buffalo, rear ended Frear's car causing the accident and was at fault, said police Friday. They said at the very least he would be ticketed for following too closely and may face other traffic related offenses.
