Upon arrival, officers discovered a Peterbilt dump truck blocking both lanes of Route 303 at the intersection of Hemlock Drive. They also located a white Kia Soul off the roadway in a grassy area, facing southbound, which sustained substantial damage. Officers quickly initiated life-saving medical aid, which was subsequently continued by Congers-Valley Cottage Ambulance Corps and Rockland Paramedics. Tragically, the operator of the Kia, a 42-year-old male from New Jersey, was declared deceased at Nyack Montefiore Hospital. The identity of the deceased is being withheld pending family notification.

No other injuries were reported, and the driver of the truck remained on the scene. Our deepest sympathies go out to the family involved during this incredibly difficult time.

The Clarkstown Police Department’s Accident Investigation Unit is actively working to investigate the incident. Anyone who may have witnessed the accident or has additional information is urged to contact the Clarkstown Police Detective Bureau at (845) 639-5800.
