Man killed by tractor-trailer on Rte. 28

For the second time in a month, there's been a fatal car accident on Rte. 28 near De Silva Rd. in Boiceville, in the town of Olive.

This afternoon, according to the Daily Freeman and the Times Herald-Record, one person was killed on that stretch of road; on August 10, 19-year-old Jordan Soderback died there.

So far, no names have been released in today's fatality, but the Daily Freeman has some more info:

A man was killed and a woman was injured this afternoon when the car they were in was struck from behind by a tractor-trailer on state Route 28, according to Ulster County Sheriff Paul Van Blarcum.

Van Blarcum said the woman was driving the car, a Honda, and the man was a  rear-seat passenger. He did not identify either person.

In another eerie similarity between the two accidents, both Soderback and today's unnamed fatality were reportedly rear-seat passengers.

**UPDATE, 8:45pm: The Ulster County Sheriff's Department has released more information about the crash, though the victims' names are still being withheld. The woman who was driving the car, who was airlifted from the scene to the Albany Medical Center, has also died.
