A man was killed Monday morning in a crash on the New York State Thruway in Esopus. His car struck a construction vehicle stopped in the left lane.
The collision happened around 11:15 a.m. near mile marker 80.7 on the northbound side of I-87. Troopers from the Kingston barracks responded to the scene.
A 2021 Mercedes-Benz was traveling in the left lane when it hit a stationary 2003 Freightliner. The truck was part of a work zone redirecting traffic for sign installation. It was parked across the left shoulder and partially in the lane.
The driver of the Mercedes-Benz, 60-year-old David Moyal of Kingston, was taken to Kingston Health Alliance Hospital. He died shortly after arrival.
The construction worker inside the Freightliner was not hurt.
The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call State Police in Highland at (845) 344-5300.
