BETHLEHEM, NY (WRGB) \u2014 A woman is dead and several other people are hurt after a three-vehicle crash Saturday afternoon in Bethlehem.<\/p>\n

At approximately 4:44 p.m. on November 1, Troopers from State Police Troop T responded to a three-vehicle accident on I-87 northbound near Exit 23. <\/p>\n

Preliminary investigation revealed that a 2011 Chevrolet sedan driven by William F.

McAllister’s vehicle then veered back into the left lane where it rear-ended a 2025 Chevrolet sedan. McAllister’s vehicle came to a stop on the right (east) shoulder, while the 2025 Chevrolet came to a stop on the left (west) shoulder after striking the guardrail. <\/p>\n
