The death of another teenager on Hurst Road — a place teens have gone for generations to drive fast, flying over the humps — calls for action. The road should be re-graded.

Three Guilderland High School students were injured in a crash Sunday evening on Hurst Road after hitting a tree just yards away from the site of a 2000 crash that killed two teenagers. The driver of the car, Alyssa Gelfand, died of her injuries on Tuesday.

A jeep drove into a medical office on Route 20 in Guilderland Monday; the driver told police she wasn’t sure if she stepped on the brake or the gas.

Thomas Brown of Guilderland, 20, had a passion for driving fast. He died Saturday morning in a one-vehicle crash in Delmar, driving the car that, by all accounts, he loved.

An elderly woman crashed her van into the SEFCU building on Route 20 in Guilderland Monday morning; no one was hurt.

In separate accidents, two teens escape serious injury at an intersection with a hidden hazard.

The 73-year-old motorcyclist, Charles Burchhardt, was described as an experienced rider, with years of riding under his belt.

Cory Ash would never have stolen a car for the usual reasons — to keep it or sell it,  said his close friend Brianna Jeffers of Voorheesville.

Cory Ash, a young man from Albany, is seen driving eastward at 95 miles per hour in a stolen car on Western Avenue in Guilderland near Crossgates Mall before he crashes at Schoolhouse Road. He dies from his injuries.
