AAPI Route 9G Greenport 06/24/16
NEW YORK STATE POLICE PRESS RELEASE
 

The State Police at Livingston are investigating a one-car collision which occurred at approximately 6:00 a.m. on Friday June 24, 2016 on State Route 9G / State Route 23B in the Town of Greenport.  

The preliminary investigation indicates a 2002 Ford Focus being operated by a 16-year-old female was traveling south when the vehicle drifted off the east shoulder of the roadway.  A 17-year-old Athens teenager who was a rear-seat passenger suffered serious internal injuries and was initially transported to Columbia Memorial Hospital in Hudson.  She was then air-lifted to Albany Medical Center where she remains in critical condition.  Two other teenage passengers in the car, a 16-year-old female from Catskill and a 17-year-old male from Coxsackie sustained non-life threatening injuries. 

The incident remains under investigation, but thus far there is no indication the driver was impaired by alcoholic beverages.  The occupants were returning home from a party being held in the Town of Cairo.   

Greenport Fire Department provided emergency services at scene.
