Hurst Road

The infamous “jump” that drew teen thrill-seekers for years on Hurst Road in Guilderland — to go well above the speed limit in hopes of getting their cars airborne — is being regraded to a “gentle slope,” said Highway Superintendent Steve Oliver this week.

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.
