A Skaneateles man has died from injuries sustained in a stand-up electric scooter crash Friday morning in Oswego County.
State Police have identified the victim as 31-year-old Dylan Scheller, who was operating the scooter when the crash occurred at about 7 a.m. on July 3 on State Route 48 at Melrose Avenue in the Town of Granby.
According to the preliminary investigation, Scheller was traveling northbound on State Route 48 when he failed to negotiate a turn, left the roadway onto the eastern shoulder, and struck a utility pole.
Troopers said Scheller was alert when emergency responders arrived and was initially believed to have suffered non-life-threatening injuries. He was transported to Oswego Hospital, where he later died from what investigators believe were internal injuries.
State Police said Scheller was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, but the helmet became dislodged during the collision.
An autopsy will be conducted by the Onondaga County Medical Examiner’s Office to determine the official cause and manner of death.
The investigation remains ongoing.
