State police say a husband and wife from upstate were the victims killed in Thursday’s five-vehicle crash on I-287.

They are identified as 62-year-old David Massarotti and his wife, 60-year-old Chandra Massarotti, of Schoharie County.

A dump truck traveling eastbound in the right lane struck a Chevy Colorado in the rear, which caused a chain reaction of events involving three other vehicles.
