One person died from injuries sustained in an accident in Penn Yan on Monday.
Police say a Penn Yan man was riding his bicycle, exiting the parking lot at Soldiers and Sailors Hospital when he rode into the oncoming northbound lane of North Main Street.
When he got into the northbound lane the person, who was not identified, rode into a wood chipper trailer that was being towed by a truck.
He was thrown from his bicycle, landing in the roadway — suffering head and chest injuries.

He died as result of the injuries sustained.
