According to police, on June 27, 2024, at approximately 4:49 a.m., Herkimer State Police responded to a single-vehicle crash on Southside Road in the Town of Russia.

A preliminary investigation revealed that the driver and sole occupant of a 2008 Nissan Frontier, identified as 41-year-old Jeremy J.
