Route 7, from Babcock Lake Road to Route 22, was closed Monday, March 28, as a result of an accident involving a tractor trailer containing 9,500 pounds of combustible liquid propane. About 12:30 pm Monday John N. Makria of West Islip, NY, a contract driver for Venezia Liquid Tank Lines Inc. out of Pottstown, PA, lost control of his truck, and it crashed through guardrails, knocked down power poles, rolled down an embankment into Tibbitts State Forest and caught fire. The accident occurred just west of the Man of Kent Tavern & Café. Makria was found outside the truck, minus shoes. He was treated by the Hoosick Rescue Squad and brought by ambulance to the Squad House in Hoosick Falls, then airlifted to Albany Medical Center.
