How the Main Street Crash in Hurley Unfolded
Troopers responded to the scene just after 6:35 p.m. State Police said an unregistered dirt bike was heading west on Main Street, operated by an 18-year-old with the 17-year-old riding as a passenger. State Police said the bike's operator tried to pass a 2015 Hyundai just as the Hyundai was turning left onto Schoolhouse Lane. The two vehicles collided, and police said both people on the bike were thrown from it. Life-saving measures were given before both were taken to Kingston HealthAlliance Hospital, where the passenger was pronounced dead. By Tuesday afternoon, the 18-year-old was stable, a State Police spokesperson said.
