Teenage Boy Struck by Motor Vehicle on Main Street Middleburgh

The Schoharie County Sheriff's office issued the following press release yesterday evening:

At 4:36 today the Sheriff's Office responded to a personal injury car/pedestrian collision on Main St. in the Village of Middleburgh. 

The investigation has revealed that David Harrington (38) of Esperance was traveling north on Main St. when he struck a 14 y/o male who was crossing the road in a marked crosswalk. 

The victim was transported to Albany Medical Center by MEVAC and county EMS with a fracture of his right leg and several cuts. At this time there is no word on the treatment required. 

Upon speaking with a witness and the parties involved, it was determined that speed was not a factor, and that the teen may have misjudged the distance and time he had to cross, not allowing the operator time to react and stop prior to the crosswalk. It was also determined that drugs or alcohol were not factors in the collision.  

No charges are being filed at this time.  

Middleburgh Fire and Scho-Wright Ambulance also assisted at the scene.
