OVERNIGHT CAR ACCIDENT CLAIMS THE LIFE OF LOCAL RESIDENT AND THE ARREST OF A SUFFERN YOUTH

At approximately 2:50 AM this morning on Rt.202 in the Village of Montebello, NY, the RPD responded to a report of a one car accident. Responding patrol officers observed a vehicle flipped over on its side. It had been occupied by five individuals.

Four of the occupants were transported to both Nyack Hospital and Westchester Medical Center. Those occupants were treated for non-life threatening injuries. One female occupant was declared deceased at the scene. All of the occupants including the deceased were under the age of 18 years old.

The vehicle struck a utility pole, causing power disruption in the area. The road remains closed at this time.

The Rockland County District Attorney’s Office is assisting the Ramapo Police Department Crash Investigation Team with the investigation.

The preliminary investigation revealed that the 17 year old male driver from Suffern, NY was intoxicated. He was transported from Nyack Hospital to the Ramapo Police Department for arrest processing.

The driver, whose identity will be withheld due to his juvenile status, was charged with Manslaughter 2nd, Assault 2nd, Vehicular Assault 1st, Vehicular Manslaughter 2nd and DWI.

The investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing and is expected to take some time to complete.

The male driver was arraigned virtually this afternoon in Rockland County Youth Superior Court.

He was released on his own recognizance and will return to court on Monday April 26, 2021.

It should be noted that a criminal complaint is merely an accusation and that a defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Still feeling hesitant about getting the COVID-19 vaccine? Here is some myth-busting!

See this informative post by Town of Ramapo Police Department regarding the recent legalization of recreational ma*****na for adults 21+.

Questions have arisen regarding the recent ma*****na possession law changes by the New York State Legislature.

Importantly, it remains illegal for person under 21 to possess any ma*****na. What has been decriminalized is the recreational use of ma*****na (3 ounces or less) for those 21 and older. Regardless of age, the sale of ma*****na remains illegal as does driving while ability impaired by drugs, which includes ma*****na.

Ramapo PD has officers trained in Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement, as well as officers that are certified Drug Recognition Experts. We will continue to diligently enforce the vehicle & traffic laws regarding driving while under the influence of alcohol and drugs, including ma*****na.
