Investigators from New York State Police Troop T responded to the scene in Westchester at approximately 10 p.m. on Feb. 24 on I-287 in the town of Harrison.

Police said that the preliminary investigation determined that White Plains resident George Wilkinson, age 37, was driving east in the left-hand lane on the interstate at a high rate of speed when he unexpectedly veered into the center lane.

According to investigators, Wilkinson lost control, and struck a vehicle being driven by Stamford resident Leah Gardiner, age 51.

Police said Wilkinson's vehicle proceeded to cross over all three lanes of the roadway, went over the guardrail, struck a large sign, and caught fire.

Investigators said that Wilkinson was pronounced dead at the scene. Gardiner was uninjured in the fatal crash.
