On October 28, 2025, just before 3 p.m., Troopers responded to State Highway 28 just north of the intersection to County Highway 6 in the town of Middletown for a two-vehicle crash.  

An investigation at the scene determined that a 2022 Ford Edge was traveling north on State Highway 28 when for an unknown reason, crossed into on-coming traffic, directly into the path of a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado.

The operator of the Ford Edge, Natasha Reed, age 36 of Delhi, NY was pronounced deceased at Margaretville Hospital.  

The operator of the Ford pick-up, Ernest K. Bilzer, age 57 of Fleischmanns, NY was transported to O’Connor Hospital for what are believed to be non-life-threatening injuries.  

The investigation is on-going.
