2 Madison County residents die after motorcycle crashes into van, which hits Jeep

HERKIMER, N.Y. -- Two Madison County residents died Sunday after their motorcycle crashed into the back of a van, which then struck a Jeep in Herkimer County, state police said.

Theresa A. Woolsey, 46, and Douglas A. Woolsey, 50, both of Brookfield, were ejected from the 2003 Honda motorcycle in the three-vehicle crash on U.S. Route 20 in the town of Warren, troopers said in a news release.

Douglas Woolsey was taken to Bassett Medical Center in Cooperstown, where he was pronounced dead, police said. Theresa Woolsey was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

Douglas Woolsey was operating the motorcycle, which was towing a trailer, at 12:15 p.m. Sunday when he failed to see a 1996 Dodge van was stopped on U.S. Route 20, police said. The van was trying to make a left turn into the driveway of the Glimmerglass Festival rehearsal building at 4152 U.S. Route 20, police said.

The motorcycle hit the back of the van and came to rest on its left side in the westbound lane, the release said.  "The force of the crash forced the van into the eastbound lane," troopers said in the release.

The van, driven by Jonathan A. Neitzey, 23, of Bowie, Md., then struck a 2004 Jeep, driven by Bruce H. Vanbrink, 56, of Cooperstown. Vanbrink's Jeep then exited the shoulder of the road and overturned onto its roof, state police said.  


Neitzey and Vanbrink were taken to Bassett Medical Center in Cooperstown with non-life threatening injuries.

State police say they are continuing to investigate the crash.
