Auto accident claims a life
Weekend police activity
PINE PLAINS — The Dutchess County Sheriff’s Office has reported a two-car fatal crash that occurred at approximately 1:06 p.m. Saturday in the town of Pine Plains.
Both cars were solely occupied by their respective owners.
Preliminary investigation revealed that a 1989 Nissan Skyline operated by Brandon Wolf, 26, of New Windsor, was headed east on Route 199 when it crossed the path of a 2002 Honda Civic traveling west on Route 199, operated by Sarah Stevens, 25, of Millerton.
Stevens suffered non life-threatening injuries and was transported to St. Francis Hospital.
Wolf suffered severe head trauma from the crash and was also transported to St. Francis, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
It appeared that both drivers were wearing seat belts at the time of the collision.
The Dutchess County Sheriff’s Office Crash Investigation Unit is currently conducting a full analysis of the crash.
LIVINGSTON — The New York State Police at Livingston investigated a two-car personal injury auto accident at the intersection of state Route 9G and county Route 6 in Clermont Saturday.
