Authorities have identified the people killed and injured in a three-vehicle crash Thursday on the New York State Thruway.

Just after 10 a.m. emergency responders were called to the crash[1] on the Thruway at marker 315 westbound in the Seneca County town of Tyre.

The New York State Police said 29-year-old Joel E. Sitts, of Utica, was heading west on the Thruway in a vehicle. As he approached traffic, which was slowing, Sitts rear-ended a car, causing it to rear-end a third vehicle, state police said. All three vehicles came to rest in the westbound lanes.
