At Rest

Pursuit
York State troopers attempted to stop a 2001 Toyota Tacoma on the Taconic State Parkway. During the stop, troopers learned the operator of the other, Thomas E. McGrath, was wanted on several warrants. McGrath fled and a pursuit began. At approximately 10:20 p.m. McGrath attempted to pass an uninvolved 1999 Nissan Pathfinder at which time the tow dolly made contact with the Pathfinder and caused the McGrath to lose control of the other and overturn. The other became fully engulfed in flames, killing McGrath.
This record exists so that Thomas E. McGrath, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
