A former Coeymans fire chief was one of two men killed in an accident on the Thruway in Albany Friday night.
Police say 37-year-old Robert Prior was driving south when he collided with a vehicle heading north between Exits 23 and 24 in the southbound lane. That driver, 71-year-old George Bradwell of Troy, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Prior, who had lost the use of his legs in a 2008 crash, was taken to Albany Medical Center where he later died.
Two other vehicles were involved in the crash. One driver suffered a hand injury, while the other was not injured. The crash is under investigation.
