Tioga County Man Killed in Candor Crash

Authorities say a driver died after the vehicle he was operating slammed into a utility pole in the Town of Candor.

Investigators say 58-year-old Kevin Robinson of Candor was killed in the crash on Route 96. It happened around 2:30 p.m. Monday.

According to the Tioga County Sheriff's Office, Robinson was traveling north when the car went off the west side of the roadway. It struck several objects, including the pole.
