Cape Vincent, N.Y. — A motorcyclist died Sunday after the driver of a Jeep crashed into a Harley Davidson motorcycle Sunday morning in Jefferson County, state police said.
Chris A. Farrell, 57, of Cape Vincent, was riding a 2005 Harley-Davidson motorcycle west on Route 12E in Cape Vincent at 11:50 a.m. when a 2020 Jeep Cherokee turned into his path, troopers said in a news release.
Thomas Coughlin, 82, of Liverpool, was driving the Jeep Cherokee east on Route 12E and turned onto Bourcy Road without noticing Farrell on the motorcycle, state police said in the release.
