COLONIE, New York — A Schenectady County man has died and a woman has been injured after a 2006 Dodge Viper crashed along Interstate 87, the Adirondack Northway.

State police say 43-year-old Matthew Fiske of Rotterdam was driving the Viper south around 10 p.m. Saturday when he apparently struck a guide rail in the town of Colonie. The vehicle went off the highway and down an embankment before hitting a tree.

Fiske was killed in the crash. His passenger, 43-year-old Colleen Seidel of Clifton Park, was taken to Albany Medical Center. Troopers said her injuries were serious but not life-threatening.

This is terrible news, and thoughts are with the family. Was he a member here?

Thoughts and prayers to the family (and passenger's family too) The driver sounded like a nice hard-working guy based on local news from that area.

His name doesn't sound familiar from our NY/CT roster before this year either. Having said that, there are a lot of good Viper people up in the suburbs of Albany, I'm sure the driver knew someone we know.
