NARRATIVE:
On 10/29/2022, 23-year-old Vincent Anthoney Mancuso of Fort Edward was critically injured when his vehicle struck a tree on Ferry Boulevard in South Glens Falls following a New York State Police pursuit. He was transported to Glens Falls Hospital, where he died on 10/30/2022.
.
At approximately 10:15 p.m., New York State Police were conducting a DWI sobriety checkpoint on Hudson Falls Road in the Town of Moreau. Mancuso entered the checkpoint and was stopped. State Police said that after a brief conversation with a trooper, Mancuso drove away against the trooper's instructions.
.
Troopers pursued Mancuso with their emergency lights and sirens activated. State Police said the troopers eventually lost sight of his vehicle. A patrol subsequently located the vehicle on Ferry Boulevard in the Village of South Glens Falls.
.
According to the preliminary investigation, Mancuso failed to negotiate a curve on Ferry Boulevard, left the roadway and struck a large tree. Emergency responders extricated him from the wreckage and transported him to Glens Falls Hospital, where he later died.
.
A later Times Union investigation of fatal police pursuits in New York independently classified Mancuso's death as a police-pursuit fatality. It identified New York State Police as the pursuing agency, the ignored police checkpoint as the cited initiating offense, and Mancuso as the pursued driver.
