This morning police cars were zooming up and down Main Street and all around surrounding neighborhood blocks. One police car flashed his lights at me to move over as I drove on Main Street at about 10am.

At 11:00am i was working in my home office near Verplank Avenue Avenue and I heard several police sirens, followed by two big booms, one or two pops, and then nothing. My cats and I ran to the basement, and my dog wanted to come inside. People were walking around the neighborhood as they usually do on a sunny day, mail being delivered, while I freaked for a moment.

I ran to my windows, but saw nothing. I made some phone calls and later visited the scene, and gathered this:

A car was driving down Main Street at super fast speed, and police cars were also driving around super fast. The driver of the car, a man, eventually turned Verplank Avenue at high speed, and hit a Lowe's delivery truck at Verplank and Cross, sending the Lowe's truck 5ft into the air. When the truck came down, it landed on the car, smashing it. The truck also hit a telephone pole, splitting the pole in half. The electrical unit on the pole fell onto the truck. Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corp. cut the power to the area at 11:30am, and restored it at 2:40pm.

The driver of the truck was reportedly ok, and the driver of the car was removed from the car and taken by ambulance to Memorial Park, at which point a helicopter flew him to a hospital. The driver's family rushed to the scene of the crash, visibly devastated.

Prayers are with everyone.
