Galway Teen Killed in Single-Car Rollover

SARATOGA COUNTY — On June 26 Saratoga County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to Hans Creek Road in the Town of Providence shortly before 8 p.m. for a report of a one-car, rollover crash with serious injuries and entrapment. 

The involved vehicle was occupied only by its driver, 17-year-old Tyler Scocca of Galway. Scocca suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene by Deputy Saratoga County Coroner Anthony Perniciaro, according to the Saratoga County Sheriff’s Office. 

The investigation indicated that Scocca was heading west on Hans Creek Road, west of Fayville Road, when he lost control, left the south side of the roadway and rolled over striking a tree. Unsafe speed appears to be a contributing factor in the crash, according to authorities.
