HURLEY – An Accord man died when his motorcycle was involved in a three-vehicle crash on Route 209 near the intersection of Wynkoop Road in the Town of Hurley Wednesday morning.
The Ulster County Sheriff’s Office said shortly before 8 a.m., a Dodge driven by Gloria Davis, 65, of Kingston, was northbound on Route 209 when she was slowing to make a left turn onto Wynkoop Road. A state prison van driven by Correction Officer Simon Prindle, rear-ended the Dodge.
The motorcyclist, Timothy Bruck, 51, was traveling behind the prison van when he lost control in effort to avoid colliding but struck the rear of the van. Bruck was found unconscious and died at the scene.
Another corrections officer and two male inmates were in the van. The drivers and passengers in the van and Dodge were transported to the Health Alliance Broadway Campus with minor injuries.
The sheriff’s office was assisted at the scene by State Police, State Accident Reconstruction Team, fire departments from Hurley, Marbletown, and Ulster Hose, Hurley Ambulance and Mobile Life Support Services ambulance.
