Man Killed in Motor Vehicle Accident on Route 9 South

SARATOGA SPRINGS — On Tuesday night, at 9:30 p.m., Saratoga Springs Police were called for a motor vehicle accident on Route 9 South in the area of the Homewood Suites.  The accident occurred in the north bound lane of travel and involved TWO vehicles approximately 1/10 of a mile south of the hotel.  The vehicles involved both sustained heavy front end damage. The vehicles involved are a  2017 Nissan Altima and a 2019 Toyota Rav 4.

Based upon the initial investigation it appears that the Nissan exited the Homewood Suites parking lot traveling south in the north bound lane for unknown reasons and then struck the Toyota, traveling north in the north bound lane. The operator of the Nissan Altima, Derrick Devonish age 44 of Albany, NY, was unresponsive at the scene and was later pronounced dead at the Saratoga Hospital. The operator of the Toyota, William Halpin age 34 of Saratoga Springs, was transported to Saratoga Hospital with non life threatening injuries.
