Why have I been thinking about Thomas Wopat-Moreau (aside from the fact that he crashed his car on the Taconic, a road my husband and I are frequent travelers on)?
State police said there were numerous accidents and disabled vehicles in Dutchess County on the Taconic State Parkway and Interstate 84 from the Newburgh Beacon Bridge to the Connecticut line.
For instance, when I head north up the Hudson Valley it always wants me to go from the Saw Mill River Parkway over to Interstates 684 and 84 and then back to the Taconic, instead of straight from the Saw Mill to the Taconic.
