NEW BALTIMORE — Broken car parts, a license plate and a hubcap were scattered on the side of Route 9W in New Baltimore, just south of the Coxsackie exit ramp of the Thruway. That was the scene of a deadly head-on collision on Thursday afternoon. Kevin Sheridan, 53, of Clifton Park, was pronounced dead at the scene.
“At this point it’s still an active investigation,” said Greene County Sheriff Lieutenant Karl Gonzalez.
But so far, investigators say preliminary evidence shows a 17 year-old driver, heading south on Route 9W, caused the accident.
“His vehicle veered to the left and struck a 53 year Kevin Sheridan,” Gonzalez said.
Greene County Sheriff Gregory Seeley said the teenager had given blood earlier that day and was coming from school with a 13 year-old passenger. Seeley said texting or alcohol don’t seem to be factors. But he said it looks like the teen driver fell asleep.
