Catskills Hatzolah was on the scene along with Wallkill Vol Ambulance from Orange County, and Mobilemedics from Sullivan County assisting. At least two victims were pronounced dead by Paramedics arriving on the scene, and a third victim in very critical condition. One or two medevacs were requested to the scene.
