The Seneca Falls Police are seeking information about a hit-and-run accident yesterday that claimed the life of an 88-year-old local resident who is related to Sen. Mike Nozzolio.

Christine Comernisky was struck and killed at 12:23 p.m. at the intersection of Fall and State streets in the downtown business district. Nozzolio’s office confirmed to YNN that Comernisky is the senator’s aunt.

The police are looking for a Red Volvo tractor combination vehicle with a white trailer that was last seen westbound on fall St. Rt 5 & 20. Anyone who was in the business district around noon and who may have seen this vehicle or have any information to contact is being asked to contract the department at 315-568-5555.

Acting on a tip, the police did locate a tractor trailer with Michigan plates parked in a loading bay Syracuse, but ultimately determined that it was not the vehicle that had been involved in the fatal crash.
