RAMAPO, NY — A 24-year-old woman from Middletown tragically lost her life on Sunday, June 15, 2025, following a single-vehicle crash on the southbound side of Interstate 87, near Exit 14A in the town of Ramapo, according to the New York State Police.

At approximately 3:25 p.m., troopers from the Tarrytown barracks responded to a report of a serious collision on the New York State Thruway.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation, and no additional vehicles were reported to be involved. Authorities have not yet released details regarding possible contributing factors, such as weather, speed, or mechanical issues.
