Three people killed in head-on crash on I-86 in Chemung County: State Police

New York State Police are investigating a two-car, head-on collision that killed three people late Friday afternoon on I-86 in the Town of Chemung.

State Police responded to the crash around 4:51 p.m. According to the preliminary investigation, a 2018 Nissan Maxima driven by a 36-year-old man was traveling westbound on I-86 when it crossed over the median and struck a 2015 Accura RDX traveling eastbound. The Accura had two occupants, an 18-year-old male operator and a 44-year-old female passenger, police said.

All three people involved in the crash were pronounced dead at the scene.

State Police later identified the driver of the Acura as 18-year-old Colin J. Ferrell, of Endicott, and the driver of the Maxima as Steven A. Mallory, 36, of Horseheads. A GoFundMe page set up for Ferrell identified the third victim as his mother, 44-year-old Tiffany Ferrell.

State Police received assistance from the Chemung County Sheriff's Office, New York State Department of Transportation, Chemung Fire Department, Greater Valley Emergency Medical Services, and Wellsburg Fire Department.
