The Wyoming County Sheriff's Office is investigating a fatality on Peoria Road in the Town of Covington that occurred yesterday about 1:30 p.m.

The initial investigation indicates that Daniel Culver, 48, of Byron, stopped to assist a truck driver who was lost and attempting to back her tractor-trailer up when Culver possibly had a medical issue and collapsed in the roadway.

Culver fell face first and was reportedly bleeding from the head. An off-duty Perry EMT who arrived on scene attempted to perform CPR, but was unable to revive Culver.

The Wyoming County Sheriff's Office says an investigation into the incident is continuing.
