On July 11, 2024, at approximately 12:05 p.m., state troopers responded to County Route 115, in the town of Cochecton for a report of a three-car collision.
Preliminary investigation revealed that a 2024 Ford 650 Budget Rental Truck and a 2023 GMC were traveling north on County Route 155 when the Budget truck crossed over into the opposite lane and struck a 2023 Freightliner traveling south. The initial impact caused the Freightliner to lose control and enter the opposite lane and strike the GMC, causing the GMC to leave the roadway, and come to rest on the east shoulder. The operator of the GMC and sole occupant of the vehicle was identified as Sher Singh, age 37 from Middletown, New York, was transported to Garnet Medical Center in Callicoon where he was pronounced deceased. There were no other injuries.
