Cops Seek Help Finding Driver In Fatal Taconic Crash

NEW CASTLE, NY — New York State Police seek witnesses to help with their investigation of a fatal crash on the Taconic State Parkway involving a car and a motorcycle. The accident took place at 7:06 p.m. April 28 near near Exit 8 for Route 100/Route 133.

Initial investigation suggested a 2006 Mercury sedan was southbound on the parkway making a lane change, and was struck on the rear driver's side by a 2017 Aprilia motorcycle, police said.

Numerous witnesses described a blue car that appeared to be racing the motorcycle; however, none of the information gathered so far has led to the identification of the car, police said.

The motorcycle was operated by Scott V. McMahon, 27, of Yonkers. He lost control and struck the concrete center median, and was ejected from the seat.

A doctor who was also traveling on the Taconic stopped and administered emergency care until EMS transport services arrived. McMahon was then transported to Westchester Medical Center where he later succumbed to his injuries.

Anyone who witnessed this crash is asked to please contact the SP Hawthorne Bureau of Criminal Investigation at (914) 769-2600 and refer to SJS# 8209146.
