New York State Police said a Schoharie County woman was killed July 21 in a two-vehicle crash that also forced the closure of a state road in Delaware County for about six hours.
Margaretville-based State Police said RoseMarie J. Windisch, 79, of Jefferson, was pronounced dead at the scene of the state Route 23 crash in the Town Roxbury.
Troopers said Windisch's vehicle was eastbound at about 10:30 a.m. when it crossed into the opposite lane of traffic and struck a Curtis Lumber flatbed truck, which was unable to avoid the collision.
