NYSDOT to investigate road safety at site of fatal crash in Ulster County

KINGSTON, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- The New York State Department of Transportation will investigate road safety at the intersection of State Routes 28 and 212 in Mount Tremper. The intersection is the location of the fatal accident that claimed the lives of two Kingston High School students on January 8.

County Executive Jen Metzger sent a letter requesting the safety analysis and said she received a response that afternoon. "I want to thank the DOT Region 8 Office for its responsiveness to our request for a road safety investigation at the Mount Tremper intersection where this tragic accident occurred. As a mother of young adults, my heart breaks for the families of the young people we have lost, and the state must make every effort to ensure that our state roads are as safe as possible to prevent future tragedies from occurring.”
