A long-time Elbridge schoolteacher died Thursday after being injured in a head-on collision in Sennett Wednesday afternoon.
Nancy Rizzieri, 57, of Depot Road, Auburn, a 29-year teacher, had most recently taught second-grade at Elbridge Elementary School.
She had been critically injured just after noon Wednesday after another vehicle crossed the centerline into her lane on Route 5 about one mile east of Auburn.
She was flown by helicopter to Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, where she later died, police said.
Rizzieri's Honda Accord was struck by a Chevrolet Blazer driven by Leroy Walker, 73, of Syracuse. Walker remained in critical condition Thursday morning at University Hospital in Syracuse.
The sheriff's office said in a news release that Rizzieri had been wearing a seat belt and that Walker had not.
Police are asking anyone who witnessed the accident to call the Cayuga County Sheriff's Office at 253-1610.
