A 1-month-old child died and an Auburn man has been charged after a head-on collision early Saturday in the town of Fleming.
The Cayuga County Sheriff's Office said the crash occurred at approximately 1 a.m. Raymond Campagna, 37, of 112 North St., Auburn, was driving a 2015 Honda CRV northbound on Route 34 near Willow Brook Road when his vehicle crossed into the southbound lane and struck a 2004 GMC pickup truck.
Campagna and the driver of the truck, Dakota Potter, 18, of Aurora, weren't hurt in the crash.
Two passengers in Potter's truck, Kirsten Marie Foisia-Burgman, 20, of Aurora, and 1-month-old Kasey Potter, were airlifted to Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse, police said.
Kasey Potter died Saturday. Foisia-Burgman was being treated Saturday for serious injuries.
A passenger in Campagna's vehicle, Amanda Vasco, 36, of Auburn, was transported to Auburn Community Hospital. She was treated and released.
After a preliminary investigation conducted by the sheriff's office, Campagna was arrested and charged with driving while ability impaired by a combination of drugs and alcohol and failure to keep right.
Detective Lt. Brian Schenck said it appears all passengers were wearing seat belts at the time of the accident and that the baby was in a car seat.
The sheriff's office said it is working with the Cayuga County District Attorney's Office as the crash investigation continues.
