Here are some
stories making headlines across the Hudson Valley.
The
Westchester's DA's office is asking for the public’s help to identify a murder
victim from 1978. They released a sketch of a man who was fatally shot in
Hastings-on-Hudson 43 years ago. The body was found in a wooden chest by a
driver on the side of the Saw Mill River Parkway. Anyone with information is
asked to contact the Westchester County District Attorney's Office.
State police say no charges will be filed against
the teenage driver who struck and killed another teen in Kiryas Joel last week. Police say the driver was not at
fault for hitting 16-year-old Aaron Freeman, who was walking along Forest Road
last Tuesday night. Authorities
say their investigation shows Freeman abruptly entered the road and was hit by
accident.
There is updated information on a JTR Transportation
tour bus that flipped off the Thruway on Saturday outside Syracuse over the
weekend. Police say
Fermin Vasquez, 66, was driving the bus which was headed to Niagara Falls.
All 57 people who were on
board were sent to nearby hospitals for injuries -- ranging from minor to
serious.
