CAYUTA--Glenn Marsh, 58, of Odessa died Wednesday morning, Feb. 17, following an accident in the town of Cayuta Tuesday, Feb. 16. The accident occurred along Route 13, with Marsh being transported to Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre, Pennsylvania, where he later died from his injuries.
Public Information Officer Mark O'Donnell with the New York State Police said they received a call at 8:05 a.m. Tuesday morning reporting a serious motor vehicle accident along Route 13 in Cayuta. He said the driver of a northbound UPS tandem tractor trailer lost control of his vehicle on slush and ice, causing the vehicle to move into the opposite lane.
