    The driver was among the three women killed. She was not wearing her seatbelt, Occupants in the rear of the van probably had not been restrained either, according to Alexander Woo, a paramedic with Rockland Paramedic Services.

    The crash site is about 6 miles north of the Rockland-Orange border, and just a few miles south if the Harriman toll plaza, which is notorious for a string of fatal accidents in recent years.

    Last year, three deadly crashes occurred within a week on the Thruway between Sloatsburg and Harriman. A year earlier, nine people – including five children – died in three crashes during a six-week period

    You cannot believe it that they still dont use seat belts. You should believe it. Its a dumb statement, because you can say that about alot of stuff……I still can’t believe (with all the cancer evidence) that people smoke cigarettes, I can’t believe anyone would drive a car while impaired by alcohol….etc, etc.

    Murray, you got it all wrong. I person smokes because its an addiction, he won’t admit to the consequences. If someone chooses not to wear a seatbelt, its a lose lose situation. Its not a big deal to strap that belt over yourself and click it. So, yes when someone does not fasten his belt, he’s stupid.
