A woman died in an accident after her car hit a dump truck in the back. The rear-end crash happened on the highway in the Town of Barton on the afternoon of October 14.

The Tioga County Sheriff’s Office got a call around 1 p.m. and responded to reports of the crash on State Route 17C. According to the police, a 2005 Honda Civic driven by thirty-four-year-old Crystal VanDusen was going east when she hit the back of a Tioga County Highway Department dump truck. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene.

The police closed State Route 17C was closed near Shepard Road for about seven hours.

The investigation into the rear-end crash is continuing and if you have any information about the crash contact the Tioga County Sheriff’s Office at 607-687-1010.

Rear-ended accidents are very common and very often have a deadly outcome (especially if a smaller vehicle hits a larger one).

If you happened to be involved in an accident like this or lost a loved one in such circumstances, you should contact an auto accident attorney. No matter whose fault it was, you have the right to file for a compensation claim. No matter how mild or severe injuries you have, make sure to get medical help after the crash. This report will help you later with the insurance company. Even if the accident happened because of your fault, don’t hesitate to contact an attorney and get legal advice. You may be eligible to get a claim. 

To make sure you’ll do things right, let your attorney guide you. Insurance companies aren’t fond of paying large amounts; your attorney won’t settle until you get your deserved claim.

  • Choosing the right attorney to represent you after an accident can make all the difference. This is no cliche. I recently experienced these words to live by first hand. After a tractor trailer rear ended me at high speed in 2017 I retained Allan Silverstein to handle my case. I quickly realized that bringing a lawsuit rapidly snowballs into a mountain of details that can make or break your results. Documents, case histories, doctor visits, bills, and lots of phone calls all need to be accurately kept track of if a successful outcome it to be attained. To complicate matters I reside in New York and the incident took place in New Jersey. Luckily, Allan was licensed in multiple states. I was fortunate to find Allan to handle this matter from the New York area. Armed with an accurate account of the facts Allan went to work on the difficult job of negotiating with the defending insurance company as well as my no fault carrier in order to obtain the best possible outcome for my set of circumstances. In a lawsuit communication is key and and events can be of a timely nature. Allan never failed to return my calls - usually the same day! He fought skillfully and respectfully to get me the best possible settlement. He is easy to deal with and a likeable down to earth guy. He always listened with compassion and respect to my issues. He guided me with objective understanding as well as a realistic analysis of the merits of my case. When we finally settled Allan got me a fair agreement beyond my expectations and negotiated with my doctors to make sure all my bills were paid. It was a great experience having Allan represent me. Quality work in any aspect of life is hard to find. Quality is what I got with Allan Silverstein. I highly recommend him if you find yourself in need of a personal injury attorney.

  • I am writing this letter to say how much I appreciate your services pertaining to my case. Your injury attorney took a hands-on approach and left me fully informed at all times as to where my case was going as well as how much ground we had to cover; leaving the final decisions in my hands but making sure that I knew all of the risks involved in the choices. I have dealt with a few law firms in my life on various different cases and this is the first time that I never had to call and/or track down my lawyer… because of this, I have and will continue to recommend Cellino Law to my friends and associates.

  • I just want to let you know that I did receive my settlement check. More importantly, I want to thank you again for all you did for both me and my family. I could not be more pleased with my experience at Cellino Law. From the moment I first spoke with you I felt comfortable - you took a sincere interest in my case, clearly explained the process and effected a quick settlement. From this day forward, when someone asks if I can recommend a good lawyer I will, without hesitation, say "Cellino Law". Thanks again.

  • Thank you for your efforts on my behalf. I am very pleased (and surprised) at the amount of the settlement. We will use the funds to help pay down the debt on the truck we had to purchase after ours was totaled. Thank you again.

    Linda

  • We want to send a big "Thank you" from the both of us. We know you both fought for us and did a great job with our case. You did it in a timely manner and we appreciate it.
