2 dead in separate crashes in Wayne, Livingston counties

Authorities are investigating several fatal crashes in the Rochester region over the holiday weekend.

A 22-year-old man died early Sunday morning in Wolcott, Wayne County, after crashing an unregistered dirt bike along Wolcott Street in Red Creek, according to New York State Police. Bret R. Gascoigne Jr. was found unresponsive on the ground.

Troopers said that Gascoigne was not wearing a helmet and appeared to have died upon impact. State Police said that Gascoigne was driving a dirt bike north on Wolcott Road when he lost control of the bike, drove off the road and collided with a parked car in the driveway of 6750 Wolcott Road and was thrown off the bike, troopers said.

A motorcyclist died after striking a tractor-trailer at Federal and Telephone roads in York, Livingston County, around 2:35 a.m. Saturday, according to State Police. Torin Gleeson, 29, of Linwood, Livingston County, was southbound on Federal Road when he failed to stop at a stop sign and struck the rear portion of a westbound tractor-trailer. Gleeson died at the scene, troopers said.

Also announced over the holiday weekend, two women died following a head-on crash on Route 31 in Lyons, Wayne County, earlier this month. Wayne County sheriff's deputies on Sunday identified the two people killed in the crash as Kathy E. Robinson, 61, of Newark, Wayne County, and Nancy Delork, 84, of Lyons.

Deputies said that on May 20, Delork was driving west on Route 31 and drove into the oncoming traffic and struck the eastbound vehicle Robinson was a riding in. Robinson died that day. Delork was taken to Strong Memorial Hospital and died from her injuries one week after the crash, deputies said.
