Two cars collided head-on on Route 299 in New Paltz around 11pm on Saturday night, when a Jeep Grand Cherokee driven by 45-year-old Highland resident Jeffrey Davis left its lane and drifted into oncoming traffic.
The Ulster County Sheriff's Office reported the incident in a press release today. Sheriff's deputies report that Davis suffered from a medical condition that caused him to lose control of the car.
The other car, a Land Rover, was driven by Roberto Gottardello, a local writer who lives in Shokan, and who was a participant in last week's Woodstock Writer's Festival.
Each vehicle had a passenger. Both drivers and the two passengers (who were not named in the release) were transported to St. Francis Hospital in Poughkeepsie for their injuries.
