CHESTER, PA : Police look for answers in double-fatal car crash on Route 8 on Sunday, 9th December 2018

Police hope that a crash reconstruction and vehicle computers can help them determine why a Chester man crossed into the oncoming lane of Route 8 on Sunday, causing a double fatal crash.

Warren County sheriff’s officers believe Walter Christie, 89, of Chestertown, was heading east on Route 8 in a 2004 Subaru Legacy when he veered into the oncoming lane in a right curve near Hill Bly Acres, hitting a westbound Mitsubishi Outlander sport-utility vehicle driven by John M. Lewis, 70, of Chestertown. The collision was reported at 9:59 a.m.

The crash killed both men and injured a passenger in Lewis’ vehicle, Ralph Lewis, 66, of Burnt Hills. He was taken to Glens Falls Hospital for treatment of injuries that police said did not appear life-threatening. Hospital staff would not release his condition Monday.
