Man Killed After Hitting Truck on 684
A 54-year-old man died in a 3-car accident on 684 in the Hudson Valley.
New York State Police from the Somers barracks are investigating a fatal three-cars crash that happened on northbound side of Interstate 684, just south of exit 9W in the town of Southeast.
Jon A. Slater, 54, of Danbury, C.T., was pronounced dead on scene and transported to the Putnam Hospital Center.
