42-year-old Pedestrian Killed

SARATOGA COUNTY — A 42-year-old Northumberland man was killed after he was struck by a car June 17 on State Route 32 in the town of Northumberland.  

Zachary D. Yeager had been walking southbound on Route 32 just north of the hamlet of Gansevoort when he was struck by a 2005 Honda Accord operated by 56-year-old Dale R. Cox of Schuylerville, who had also been traveling southbound, according to the Saratoga County Sheriff’s Office. 

As a result of the impact, Yeager was propelled into the northbound lane and struck again by a 2012 Acura TSX operated by 40-year-old Jaralyn F. Muzio of Queensbury, who was traveling northbound.

Muzio was subsequently arrested for DWI, operating a motor vehicle with a BAC of .08% or greater, and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the third-degree, police said. 

The crash remains under investigation by the Sheriff’s Collision Reconstruction Unit.
