POMFRET, N.Y. (WKBW) — A GoFundMe page has been set up for the Cassadaga girl killed in a car crash in Pomfret Monday.
State Police said seven-year-old Emmaline A. Wilcox and her mom were traveling north on Route 60, and were waiting to make a left hand turn, when they were rear-ended, pushed into oncoming traffic, and hit by a tractor trailer traveling southbound. Wilcox and her mother were transported to Brooks Memorial Hospital where Emmaline died. Police said her mother was treated for non-life threatening injuries.
Emmaline was a first grader at Cassadaga Valley's Sinclairville Elementary School. Her older brother attends the Middle School. Grief counselors were on hand at both buildings Tuesday following the tragedy.
