Anthony J. Hindes of Berlin was killed in a one car accident Monday evening on Bly Hollow Road in the Cherry Plain area of the Town of Berlin. Sgt. Marc St. Germain of the Rensselaer County Sheriff’s Office said the call was received at 8:38 pm on Monday, December 13, and the accident occurred on Bly Hollow Road near Brook Road. There were snow squalls in the area Monday evening and that section of Bly Hollow Road is very steep. It appeared, St. Germain said, that Hindes lost control of his car due to bad road conditions and struck a tree. He was taken to Albany Medical Center where he passed away about 4 am. Hindes was 18 years old and was a graduate of Berlin High School just this past June. He was currently attending Hudson Valley Community College.
