Two pedestrians including an 8-year-old child are dead after a motorcycle crashed onto a paved bike path in the Town of Lake George Sunday afternoon.
New York State Police say 33-year-old Anthony J. Futia of Albany was heading north on Route 9 at a high rate of speed when his motorcycle left the road and struck six pedestrians standing at the entrance to the path near the Lake George Expedition Park.
38-year-old James A. Persons and 8-year-old Quinton P. Delgadillo, both Lake George residents, died of their injuries. Another pedestrian, 30-year-old Jasmine Luellen -- also of Lake George -- was transported to Albany Medical Center Hospital and was in stable condition. Three other children present were not injured.
Futia suffered life-threatening injuries and was in critical condition at Albany Med.
The Warren County Board of Supervisors says the county’s DPW will review safety measures in that area of the Warren County Bikeway, as is done whenever there is a serious incident on county-owned infrastructure.
An investigation into the crash is ongoing.
