MARCY, N.Y. (WKTV) - One person is dead following a multi-vehicle crash on Route 49 in the Town of Marcy late Thursday night.

Representatives from the Oneida County Sheriff's Office said three to four vehicles were involved, but have not released official information. 

The names of those involved are also not being released.

There is no word yet if there are other injuries.

The accident forced authorities to close the eastbound lane for much of the overnight hours.

It is now back open to traffic.

Maynard and Floyd Fire Departments were also on the scene assisting.

Why have they not yet identified the victim or the details of this accident almost twenty-four hours after this has happened?

It is nice to see that the New York State Police is assisting the Oneida County Sheriff's Office with their investigation. That is the first time that I have heard of the NYSP reconstructing an accident handled by the Sheriff's Office. But I'm sure you guys got the facts right before you printed anything.

Every person who reads this article should say a small prayer for the family of the individual who died, and also for the people involved, as this is horrific accident. I am certain those involved could use your prayers
