The body of Patrick (Patsy) Ezzo has never been found since his new two-door Pontiac catapulted over the low wall in Wilmington Notch, rolled over high in the air and landed on its roof in the icy stream. The accident happened on Sunday, March 8, 1976.

Snip

It was never determined, even following a long search, whether his body might be lodged under a rock or if that roaring stream carried his body all the way to Lake Champlain.

Snip

“apparently lost control of the car before it went over the wall.” Friends of Mr. Ezzo believed that he may have suffered a heart attack before the crash.

A grader, a front-end loader, a truck with a plow and another truck were working in the Wilmington Notch Wednesday morning, clearing an ice ramp away from the stone wall that separates Route 86 from the West Branch of the AuSable River, 20 feet below.

Snip

Mr. Ezzo was headed toward Wilmington when the accident happened.

Oh, it's MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT! I'll remember that! That'll teach me to have my search on verbatim and be searching for a drowning accident. Thank you!
