BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (AP) – Search teams found the body of a trucker from Lisbon who was killed when surging floodwaters carved a 150-wide chasm across Interstate 88 in Delaware County, Oneonta police said Saturday.

The body of Patrick O’Connell, 55, was found at 9:50 a.m. Saturday near the Susquehanna River, in the Town of Sidney, 102 miles southwest of Albany.

The body was transported to Wilson Memorial Hospital in Binghamton. An autopsy determined the cause of death to be drowning.

O’Connell’s body was missing since the cab of his truck was found about a mile from the accident scene where a creek flows into the Susquehanna River and divers located the trailer nearly two miles downriver. He was driving a rig from Micucci’s Wholesale Foods Inc. in Portland, where he had worked for about eight years.

He was born in Lewiston and attended schools in Auburn, before moving to Lisbon where he was well known for his mechanic’s skills. He also went lobstering in Harpswell on weekends with his brother, Dan.

He was heading to western New York to pick up a load of cheese when he died during the torrential rain storms that hit upstate New York last week, state police said.

O’Connell was one of two truckers killed last Wednesday after driving into the collapsed culvert caused by last week’s flooding.

The body of David Swingle, 42, of Waverly, N.Y., was recovered at the scene following the accident.
