Route 12 was closed for several hours Tuesday following a two-car crash in Greene, killing one person.

The Chenango County Sheriff's Office received a report just before 10 a.m. of the collision, according to a news release.

Deputies said two cars, one traveling north and the other traveling south, collided when the southbound vehicle, operated by Kyle Skidmore, 33, of Binghamton, crossed the center line.

The northbound vehicle was operated by Danny Frayer, 64, of Oxford. The passenger in his vehicle, Thomas Whittaker, 54, of Greene, was pronounced dead at the scene. Whittaker was not wearing a seat belt, deputies said.
