Two Killed in Car Crash Near Old Forge

 

Police are investigating an accident near Old Forge that killed two Livingston County men over the weekend.

Police say 27-year-old William Cook III and 28-year-old John Curry Jr., both of Geneseo, died as a result of the one-car crash just before 3 a.m. Sunday.

A passenger in the car, Thomas Albanese, also of Geneseo, suffered a broken leg but was able to flag down a passing car for help.

Investigators say Cook was speeding south on Route 28 in the fog when he drove into the northbound lane, lost control and skidded sideways into a power pole.

Police say he died at the scene, and Curry later died at an area hospital.
