Vehicles Collide In Tibbets Forest

July 2, 2015 By eastwickpress

by Steve Bradley

At 6:30 pm last Saturday evening, a small Chevrolet left the eastbound lane and collided with a westbound Kia Optima. The original contact occurred about one-quarter mile west of the Route 22 / 7 intersection (Stewarts) and just east of the parking area along Route 7. The Chevy continued on the north side of the road, intermittently contacting the guard rails. The vehicle finally came to rest in the eastbound lane 120 yards past the initial contact point.

Two women in the Chevy were transported by the Town of Hoosick Rescue Squad to Southwestern Vermont Medical Center. The couple in the Kia, who were returning home from a graduation party in the Hoosick area, were unhurt. Both vehicles received extensive damage, the Chevy’s front and driver side was torn open and the six month old Kia was damaged in the left rear quarter with the left rear wheel completely ripped out and dragged by the brake lines.

The NY State Police and Rensselaer County Sheriff Department, along with the Hoosick Fire Department and previously mentioned Town of Hoosick Rescue Squad responded. [/private]
