Sherburne, N.Y. — A 32-year-old woman was killed Thursday in Chenango County when a tractor-trailer got caught in a snow squall, crossed the center line and hit her car head on.

The crash happened at about 1:43 p.m. on Route 12B in the town of Sherburne, according to a news release from Trooper Aga Tinker, a spokesperson for State Police.

The tractor-trailer driver, Jacob F. Relyea, 57, of Bridgeport, was driving north on Route 12B when he encountered a white-out snow squall, lost control and crossed over into the southbound lane, troopers said.

His truck collided with a Subaru sedan driven by Danica R. Jones, 32, of Earlville. Jones was pronounced dead at the scene, troopers said.

Troopers administered a standard field sobriety test and Relyea showed negative signs of impairment.
