Two Massachusetts drivers, one on a motorcycle and one in a car towing a loaded boat trailer, were involved in an accident at the entrance to the Hoosick Sunoco station on Saturday.
The accident occurred at 3 pm when the car/trailer entered the station, coming from the east, in front of the motorcycle that was headed east toward Bennington. After leaving 40 feet of skid mark on the road, the motorcycle was unable to stop before coming in contact with the boat trailer.
The motorcyclist sustained non-life threatening injuries and was transported to SVMC in Bennington by the Town of Hoosick Rescue Squad. It was unclear which driver, Gary Shaw, 60, of Uxbridge or Jeffey Dupuis, 53, of Cheshire, was the driver of the motorcycle. The Village of Hoosick Falls Police, NY State Police, Hoosick Fire Department and Cambridge Rescue Squad also responded to the scene.
