Cory Beschorner, an employee of the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), made a dramatic discovery while keeping a work appointment: his son had died in a traffic accident.
Beschorner was called to work the scene of a fatal hit-and-run accident, not knowing his son was the victim, according to the station WBNG.
“We were saying that someone’s world was going to be turned upside down tonight. “I didn’t know it was mine or my family’s.”
Authorities confirmed yesterday that early Saturday, February 17, Tyler Beschorner, 29, died on Route 363 in Binghamton, New York. In a bitter irony, his father was called that night to help with the road closure while the accident was investigated.
“This is one of our worst nightmares,” Cory Beshorner said. “We were saying that someone’s world was going to be turned upside down tonight. “I didn’t know it was mine or my family’s.”
The Binghamton Police Department is still investigating the death of Tyler Beshorner, for which no one has been arrested.
Captain Cory Minor urges the community to come forward with any information they may have. Specifically, police are asking anyone who was in the area of Route 363 and Exchange Street between 2:15 and 2:45 a.m. on Feb. 17 to contact detectives at 607-772-7080.
The Beshorner family is desperately searching for answers and for the person responsible to come forward. “I don’t want to harbor hate and I don’t want to be angry because that’s not going to change anything or bring him back,” said Shanay Beshorner, Tyler’s mother, who orphaned a 7-year-old boy.
The authorities remember that there is zero tolerance for drivers who drive at excess speed and/or under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
In December, Gov. Kathy Hochul signed “Angelica’s Law,” intended to keep drivers with prior suspensions off the road by charging repeat offenders who operate vehicles after committing five or more traffic violations that resulted in a felony. suspensions or revocations.
