Baltimore Woman Dies In NY Crash That Hurt Trooper, Man: Police

SCHROON LAKE, NY — A Baltimore woman died, and a Baltimore man was hurt in a New York highway crash that also injured a state trooper this Friday, police said.

Troopers said the three-car crash happened around 3:35 p.m. on Interstate 87 northbound in the town of Schroon Lake in Essex County. That's located in upstate New York, about 90 miles from the Canadian border.

The New York State Police said a trooper, operating a marked Chevrolet Tahoe SUV, pulled over a white 2011 Mercedes 350 sedan after observing a vehicle and traffic law violation. Both vehicles were stopped on the northbound shoulder of Interstate 87 with the patrol vehicle's emergency lights activated.

During the traffic stop, authorities said a 2015 Ford Transit van heading north hit the back of the police car, causing a multi-vehicle collision.

Police said the van's passenger, 43-year-old Anne F. Everton of Baltimore, was pronounced dead on the scene.

A press release said the van's driver, a Baltimore man, was taken to Glens Falls Hospital.

The injured trooper was taken to the same hospital, authorities said.

The van driver and the trooper are both expected to survive.

The Mercedes driver and passenger were not hurt, but their car sustained minor damage, police said.

The crash is still under investigation.
