The driver of the tractor-trailer who was killed was identified as 42-year-old Connecticut resident Nathan Montalvo of the town of Guilford in New Haven County, and the motorist injured after the truck landed on the highway was identified as 37-year-old Aris Guerrero of West Hempstead.
The fatal accident happened on Wednesday, Jan. 18 around 10:20 a.m. when Montalvo's tractor-trailer lost control while traveling on the Exit 9A ramp from I-287 to I-684 north in Harrison, fell from the roadway, and landed on the I-287 westbound lanes, according to state police.
Montalvo was killed at the scene when the tractor-trailer fell, and Guerrero, who was in a vehicle traveling on I-287 at the time, was taken to Westchester Medical Center for his injuries.
The crash is still being investigated by police, and the New York state police's Bureau of Criminal Investigation is asking anyone with information to call Investigator Hettinger at 914-769-2600.
