POUGHKEEPSIE – A motorist
was killed Tuesday morning when their car ran across Shunpike Road near
Kennels Road in the Town of Washington and struck a tree. The investigation
is continuing, but investigators said unsafe speed appears to be the primary
factor in the crash.

The operator, who the Dutchess County Sheriff’s Office did not initially
say was male or female, was the sole occupant and was wearing a seatbelt
when the accident occurred around 9 a.m.

The victim’s name was withheld pending notification of relatives.

The Sheriff’s Office Crash Investigation Unit is continuing to investigate
the crash. The office was assisted at the scene by the Dutchess County
Medical Examiner’s Office, Northern Dutchess Paramedics and the
Millbrook Fire Department.
