On Wednesday, the New Windsor Police Department concluded its investigation into the cause of the October 21, 2020 fatal three vehicle collision involving a Washingtonville Central School District bus, a commercial tree service truck and a BMW sedan.
The two-month-long investigation determined that the commercial tree service truck, operated by Ian K. Jennings, crossed over the double yellow line and entered the oncoming Eastbound lane of traffic causing the collision with the school bus and the sedan, police say.
Toxicology results from the New York State Police lab determined that alcohol and drugs were not a contributing factor in this collision, according to New Windsor police. After an accident reconstruction investigators were able to rule out excessive speed as well as any type of mechanical failure on the part of the commercial tree service truck.
