OXFORD – As a police investigation continues into a fatal Oxford accident that caused the death of a 22-year-old Greene woman, officers said preliminary information indicated no crimes were committed but a truck driver was at fault and would be ticketed.

Chenango County Sheriff Ernest Cutting reported that at approximately 7 a.m. Wednesday the Sheriff’s Office 911 Center received a report of an accident involving three southbound vehicles along State Route 12, at the turn-off for the South Oxford Bridge Road.

Police said Kathryn Frear, died in the accident after her car was caught between the two commercial trucks also involved in the accident. (An obituary for Frear can be read on Page 5.)
