MARLBOROUGH, N.Y. — A man died and a woman was seriously injured Friday afternoon in a two-car crash in the vicinity of U.S. Route 9W and Mahoney Road in the town, state police said Saturday.
In a press release, state police said at about 12:56 p.m. Friday, Jan. 23, a 2010 Honda was traveling northbound on Route 9W when it attempted to “pass an uninvolved vehicle by utilizing the eastern shoulder of the northbound lane.”
