Two Ulster County Department of Public Works vehicles were involved in a crash that left one dead on Monday.

November 4, at approximately 9:30 a.m. Troopers responded to a three-car motor vehicle crash on Albany Post Road in the town of Shawangunk.

Upon investigation, it was determined that a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado, an Ulster County Department of Public Works vehicle, operated by Joseph J. Hull, age 49, was facing southbound on Albany Post Road and attempting to back into a driveway on Albany Post Road.
