Cattaraugus County crash claims Cassadaga woman's life

A 43-year-old Cassadaga woman lost her life in a crash on Mosher Hollow Road in the Cattaragus County town of Leon around 9 pm last night.  Cattaraugus County Sheriff's deputies say a vehicle driven by Lerlene Rumsey of Route 60 struck a horse that was being walked across the road.  The vehicle then went into a ditch, striking an earthen embankment before rolling over nearly three times. Deputies say the vehicle came to rest on its roof, ejecting the driver.  A county coroner pronounced Rumsey dead at the scene.  The Cattaraugus County Sheriff's Office is continuing its investigation.
