New York lawmakers renewed a bipartisan call on Sept. 25 for a new “crash gate” along the Interstate 84 section in the Town of Wawayanda, where a recent bus wreck claimed two lives and injured dozens.
The long-sought crash gate, which is a special access, nonpublic road, will cut emergency response time in that area by up to 10 minutes.
