Tragic Accident on Route 73 in Keene Results in Fatality and Critical Injury A fatal collision occurred on Route 73 in Keene due to wintry conditions, where a Saranac Lake woman lost her life and another individual remains in critical condition. The incident involved a tractor-trailer and a passenger vehicle just before 4 p.m. According to the New York State Police, the accident was caused by a white Freightliner tractor-trailer, driven by Samuel L. Stoner, 35, from Clifton Park, losing control on the slushy road. The trailer jackknifed into the westbound lane, leading to a collision with a Ford Escape operated by Tracy L. Mauler, 57, of Saranac Lake, and passenger Beverly A. Pickreign, 84, also from Saranac Lake. Another vehicle, a Toyota Scion, made slight contact with the tractor-trailer while attempting to avoid the crash, veering off into a rock wall. Emergency responders arrived at the scene, with Stoner and the occupants of the Toyota escaping injury. Sadly, Pickreign was critically injured and transported for further treatment, while Mauler was pronounced deceased at the site. The investigation into the incident is ongoing.
