BALDWINSVILLE -- Family and friends are gathering to remember a young crash victim.

Calling hours will be held Tuesday for 27-year-old Alaina Reed of Baldwinsville. She was one of three people killed last Friday night in a wrong-way crash on Route 481 near Henry Clay Boulevard in the Town of Clay, just north of Syracuse.

Authorities say emergency dispatchers received more than a dozen calls reporting a driver going the wrong way on 481 before the car slammed into another vehicle, killing the driver and two other people.

State Police released more details Monday on Friday night's crash. Troopers say witnesses reported seeing 60-year-old Gary Foster of Syracuse enter the highway's northbound lanes in Fulton and drive several miles south before colliding with another car driven by Reed. Foster and 82-year-old Jacqueline Grove, a passenger in his car, both died in the accident.

Police are still investigating the crash.

I am not surprised. Just a few weeks ago as we were coming into Oswego (just passed the light in the intersection to go to Kmart) there were some old folks in a car driving on the wrong side of the divider.. thank heavens the SUV in the other lane realized this and served out of their way.

Something needs to be done at that intersection. Spring loaded panels, better markings,.. SOMETHING, before someone else dies.

wow

my condolences goes out to the family & friends to everyone involved. My only concern is how this gentlemen got that far without even being pulled over. thats quite a distance without any law enforcement showing up. I think this highway should be watched a little more closely!
