48-year-old Timothy Oleyourryk, of State Route 104A, Oswego, plead guilty this afternoon (Feb. 14) in Cayuga County Court. before Judge Mark H. Fandrich, to Leaving the Scene of Personal Injury Accident Without Reporting to Police, a Class A Misdemeanor, with an agreement that he will be sentenced May 8 to no worse than three years’ probation supervision, a fine and a surcharge.
On December 10, 2016, at approximately 10 p.m., Oleyourryk was operating a 2011 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD extended cab pickup truck, equipped with a V-Plow on it, in a northeasterly direction on Old State Road in the town of Sterling during a severe lake effect snowstorm when he struck an intoxicated 19-year-old man who was walking home (in the road) from a friend’s house.
Today this defendant admitted that he was operating his motor vehicle in an unreasonable manner for the road conditions existing at that time.
As a result of being struck with the plow blade and thrown , the victim suffered a fractured leg and back.
There was no cell service at that location, the defendant arranged for another passing car to take the victim to Oswego Hospital, but did not give anyone his identification, license or insurance information as required by law.
The defendant then went home and never reported to the police that he had struck the young man, which was also required by law to be reported.
A week afterward, while the New York State Police were still investigating, attempting to locate and identify the driver, the defendant called the State Police barracks to complain that he felt he was being harassed on Facebook, by people accusing him of Leaving the Scene.
He wanted the police to issue a press release saying he did not leave the scene, had turned around, returned to help the man he hit, and had arranged for the victim to be taken to the hospital.
Oleyourryk had never identified himself as the driver or reported the accident to the police, as required by law.
A trial in this matter was scheduled to begin Feb. 26.
The victim said he appreciated the work of the State Police and District Attorney in resolving the case.
