A man from the North Country was taken into custody on Wednesday by law enforcement officials for allegedly causing a fatal accident while driving drunk. The incident occurred shortly after midnight on State Route 11 in Chateaugay, according to the New York State Police. The driver, 24-year-old Ryan Bordeau of Malone, was headed west on Route 11 with a passenger, 49-year-old Jennifer Hathorn of Chateaugay, when he lost control of the vehicle, causing it to veer off the road.
