Newspaper Obituary - August 29, 2000 Syracuse Post Standard - ATV CRASH KILLS MAN - An Albion man, riding his all-terrain vehicle to pick up his mail, died Monday after he apparently drove the vehicle into a tree in his yard, state police said. Paul Petrie, 55, of 1091 Albion Cross Road died at Oswego Hospital, a hospital spokesman said. Petrie had ridden the four-wheel ATV from his house, gotten the mail from his mailbox, which is about 50 yards from his house, and was on his way back when the accident happened at 2:05 p.m., Sgt. Chris Smith said. The tree is about 10 yards from the front of the house. Petrie's wife, Sherry, who was mowing the lawn, called 911, Smith said. When rescue workers arrived, Petrie was lying next to the tree and ATV, said Fire Chief William Holcomb of the Altmar Volunteer Fire Department. The impact threw Petrie against the tree, the fire chief said. Petrie was unconscious and suffered severe cuts to his head, Holcomb and Smith said. Northern Oswego County Ambulance took Petrie to the hospital, Smith said. It was unclear what caused Petrie to drive into the tree. Investigators weren't sure how fast Petrie was going, Smith said.
