Two men, woman die after crash into Stanford house

Two men and a woman were killed after their truck crashed into a home in Stanford late Monday night, according to state police.

The truck, a 2000 Chevrolet Blazer traveling on Route 82, left the road, collided with a tree and caught fire at around 10:44 p.m., according to state police. The fire then spread to a home located Route 82 and Bulls Head Road.

Sue Treacy, the homeowner, said she was in bed at the time when she heard a pop. She rushed outside to find the car up against the porch and engulfed in flames. She said she called 911 before retrieving a fire extinguisher.

A 35-year-old man, a 46-year-old man and a 40-year-old woman were all in the vehicle, according to state police. Their identities are being withheld pending notification to the family.

One of the men and the woman, sitting in the front seat, were pronounced dead at the scene. The second man was airlifted to MidHudson Regional Hospital, where he later died.

Treacy was uninjured, and said she is staying with neighbors.

The crash took off half the porch and set the porch and front of the house on fire. The fire was extinguished by the Stanfordville Fire Department, according to state police.

"It's just another senseless tragedy," Treacy said.

Tyler Roush, who lives in the building adjacent to the house, said he heard a bang and called 911 after he came outside and saw the vehicle on fire.

Roush said speeding is common on Route 82.

"There's always cars zooming past and it's only 40 miles an hour," Roush said of the speed limit.

Anyone who witnessed the collision is asked to call state police in Poughkeepsie at 845-677-7379.
