An Ulster County woman is dead after a crash involving a tractor-trailer in the town of New Paltz.
State police say Carlos Nunes was driving southbound on I-87 Saturday night when his tractor-trailer was struck from behind.
Nunes initially thought he had a flat tire and pulled over.
He then learned he was hit by a Toyota Avalon, which became lodged under the trailer.
The driver of the Toyota, Darleen Halwick, of Hurley, was killed in the crash.
