Man Killed in Thruway Crash; Returning from Yankees Game

One person was killed, three others hurt after a crash involving a van and a tractor trailer on the Thruway in the Town of Salina. The victims were returning from Tuesday night's Yankees game.

The crash happened early Wednesday morning around 4:30 along the westbound lanes of the Thruway right near the Route 81 exit.

A truck passing the van noticed debris, and then saw the van rolling over. The passenger in the van, Bernard Petrosky, 53, of Syracuse, was not wearing a seatbelt and was thrown from the vehicle. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The family of four in the car was returning from Tuesday night's Yankees game.

another tragedy on the road. my sympathies go out to the family. im not sold on the total safety of seat belts; it all dependsa on the situation; kind of accident, type of vehicle involved; weather conditions' ,the mind set of the driver themselves; i mean,yu got airbags ,and my experience says their more powerful than belts; ive snapped those bewfore; its just one more regulation from the state to fill politicians pockets at the expense of human life.

Any accident impacts families in many ways. It is our prayer that the families of this incident heal quickly from their loss.
It is also my hope that the media does not in any way try to point "blame fingers" at anyone involved in this accident without first getting ALL the facts straight.
I know that truck driver personally and is a true professional in every sense of the word.
Again, our prayers go out to the families.
