An investigation revealed that a blue 2007 Ford F-250 truck, operated by 19-year-old Anthony L. Fenimore from Chestertown, NY, was traveling north on State Route 9N. As an uninvolved vehicle applied its brakes, Fenimore swerved into the southbound lane, colliding head-on with a gray 2017 Dodge Caravan.

The Dodge Caravan driver was identified as 62-year-old Deborah A. Simpson from Mineville, NY, with 85-year-old James B. Simpson, also from Mineville, as her passenger.

State Police members were assisted on the scene by Crown Point Fire, Crown Point EMS, Lamoille Valley EMS, and Ticonderoga EMS.
