Leo Faucett injured in Dryden truck crash, according to troopers

DRYDEN, NY (November 9, 2026) Leo Casey Faucett, 68, of Freeville, suffered injuries Monday afternoon after a tractor-trailer and an SUV collided at the intersection of State Route 13 and Gulf Hill Road in the town of Dryden, according to New York State Police.

Authorities reported that Faucett was operating a northbound Mix Brothers tractor-trailer at approximately noon when a 2021 Kia SUV traveling from Gulf Hill Road attempted to turn left onto State Route 13 without yielding. The SUV struck the commercial truck, causing the tractor-trailer to leave the roadway and overturn. The Kia subsequently came to rest in a ditch.

Faucett sustained injuries and was transported to Guthrie Cortland Medical Center for medical treatment. The 75-year-old Kia driver, a Binghamton resident, received a traffic citation in connection with the collision.

Incident Location


CRASH INVESTIGATION

New York State Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the collision, including the failure to yield at the intersection.

Candice Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal and a national legal analyst for Accident Injury News, emphasizes the importance of establishing how a collision occurred and identifying the factors that contributed to it.

In cases such as this, an independent investigation can help preserve important evidence, identify potential witnesses, examine driver histories and determine whether insurance coverage may apply. Reviewing the police report alongside physical evidence and expert findings can also help establish a clearer picture of the events leading to the crash.


PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Depending on the investigation’s findings, Faucett may have grounds to pursue compensation for injuries and related losses.

Stefano Formica, Of Counsel at Bond Legal and a national legal analyst for Accident Injury News, notes that serious accident injuries can create significant challenges, including medical expenses, financial pressure, interruptions to employment and changes in everyday activities.

In cases such as this, understanding the available insurance coverage and documenting injury-related expenses can be important when evaluating a potential personal injury claim. Legal representation may also help an injured individual navigate insurance negotiations and understand the options available under applicable law.
