Three injured in Thanksgiving accident in Boiceville

A head-on collision between two cars on Route 28 in Boiceville on Thanksgiving Day left three people injured, and may result in charges being filed, state police say.

The accident was called in to 911 at 7:17pm on Thursday, November 22. According to New York State Police Investigator Benjamin Cooper, the accident occurred near the intersection with Upper Boicevill Road, and involved a Jeep Grand Cherokee and a Nissan.

The drivers of both vehicles were taken by helicopter to separate hospitals, one to Albany Medical Center and the other to St. Francis Hospital in Poughkeepsie. A passenger in one of the vehicles was transported by ambulance to Kingston Hospital.

None of the injuries were life-threatening, Cooper said.

The incident is still under investigation, and police expect that charges may be filed in the incident. Whether alcohol may have played a role in the crash is yet to be determined, Cooper said.

"I'm not going to give out the names involved until there's more information," he said.

Responding to the scene along with the New York State Police, Cooper said, were Ulster County sheriff's deputies and Town of Olive police, fire and ambulance personnel.
