Police: Yonkers Motorist Dies on Sprain

A Yonkers man stuck several trees Monday evening due to Sandy storm conditions.

A Yonkers man died while driving on the Sprain Brook Parkway in Greenburgh Monday evening, according to New York State Police.

The motorist's death was linked to dangerous storm conditions, police said.

A 1988 Toyota operated by a 54-year-old man was southbound in the left lane near Jackson Ave at 7:45 p.m. when he struck a large tree which had fallen across the roadway from the center median. The vehicle then continued down the center embankment striking several other trees, police said.

The victim was pronounced deceased at the scene and removed to Westchester Medical Center; the identity of the victim has not yet been released.

Sandy claimed at least four lives in the Lower Hudson Valley—a Pearl River man and two North Salem boys were killed by falling trees Monday night, as well.

Let's look at the appropriateness of this post. First, it's clearly an ad because it points to aRead More specific insurance agent at a specific agency to contact. Second, it attempts to hide being an ad behind what may be useful information (or not). Third, the "person" who posted it doesn't use their real name. Instead, they use a pseudonym Divorce Information NOW. That doesn’t seem terribly reassuring to me. This the third advertising post on the “announcements” space since Rye Patch converted to the new site layout. Seems a bit of a mess to me. But hopefully someone will come along and figure out who the real poster is, their link to the advertised agent and agency, and then delete the post. After all, if it’s an ad, it should be labeled as such and the poster should pay for having it run. If that doesn’t happen, Patch won’t be able to pay its employees to keep real content on the site.
