UPDATE: A 19-year-old Orange County resident was killed after his car left the rain-slicked Palisades Interstate Parkway in Rockland County and struck a tree, police said.
Newburgh resident Christopher A. Rivera died following the single-vehicle crash on the southbound parkway near Exit 16 in the Town of Stony Point on Tuesday, Sept. 1, New York State Police confirmed Tuesday evening.
The crash happened around 9:46 a.m. near mile marker 31.3 as Rivera was driving a 2010 Toyota Corolla southbound. It was raining at the time, causing the roadway to be wet.
For reasons still under investigation, the Toyota left the roadway, entered the center median, and struck a tree, police said.
Rivera, who was the only person in the vehicle, had to be pulled from the wreckage. He was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital in Suffern, where he later died from his injuries, police said.
The investigation into the crash is still ongoing. State Police are asking anyone who personally witnessed the crash to contact the Bureau of Criminal Investigation in Haverstraw at 845-344-5300.
