A man who fled from a state trooper during a traffic stop was found dead at the bottom of a steep embankment in Durham, New York State Police said Tuesday.

The trooper made the traffic stop due to a traffic violation on County Route 67 at O’Hara Road around 11:30 p.m. Monday, police said in a statement. A passenger in a pickup truck, later identified as Christopher Stanton, 40, of Tannersville, ran into a wooded area on the west side of the road, police said. A trooper soon located him injured at the bottom of the embankment, police said.

Stanton had multiple felony bench warrants, state police said.

The Greene County Sheriff’s Office, Greenville EMS and Greene County Paramedics responded and helped extradite Stanton, who was flown to Albany Medical Center and died from the injuries, police said.

The New York State Police and state Attorney General’s Office are investigating.
