BETHLEHEM, N.Y. (AP) - State police have released the name of the 43-year-old New York man who was killed when his motorcycle was involved in a crash that snarled Thruway traffic near Albany for hours.

Troopers say Friday that William Walsh of Cairo in Greene County was traveling north on Interstate 87 around noon Thursday when he collided with a tractor-trailer in the town of Bethlehem, just south of Albany. Police say he was pronounced dead at the scene.
