NEW BALTIMORE―A Coxsackie woman has died following a head-on collision with a commercial box truck on State Route 9W.
Lenore M. Nevins, 50, was critically injured in the crash, which occurred at approximately 10:26 a.m. October 28 at the intersection of County Route 51 in the town of New Baltimore.
According to New York State Police, a preliminary investigation determined that Nevins was driving a 2023 Nissan Altima on County Route 51 when she attempted to make a left turn onto Route 9W to travel north.
While making the turn, her vehicle entered the southbound lane and collided head-on with a southbound 2016 Hino commercial box truck.
Nevins was airlifted to Albany Medical Center in critical condition, where she was later pronounced dead.
The driver of the box truck, 41-year-old Adam R. Benton of Hurley, sustained minor injuries and was treated at the scene by emergency medical personnel.
The crash prompted a large emergency response and forced the closure of Route 9W in the area for several hours as authorities investigated the collision.
