On October 27, 2025, State Police arrested Curtis L. Williams, 20 of Rensselaer, NY for Reckless Endangerment in the second degree, five counts of Endangering the Welfare of a Child, and numerous Vehicle and Traffic Law violations. Â
On October 27, 2025, at about 7:26 a.m. Troopers responded to the report of a two-vehicle crash involving a school bus on State Route 145 in Rensselaerville, NY. The investigation determined Williams was reportedly recklessly driving his vehicle at a high rate of speed southbound on State Route 145, according to witnesses.  Williams crossed over into the northbound lane and struck a northbound Middleburgh Central School District bus occupied by the driver, an adult attendant, and five children. Williams’s vehicle then overturned, striking a utility pole. One child and Williams did report minor injuries resulting from the crash, but neither was transported for further medical care.
State Route 145 remained closed between Fox Creek Road (County Route 352) and State Route 81 for the investigation and repair of the utility pole until approximately 11:30 a.m. But has since been reopened.
Williams was transported to SP Latham for processing. He was issued an appearance ticket returnable to the Rensselaerville Town Court on November 10, 2025, and released.
State Police would like to thank the Middleburgh Central School District and the Tri-Village Volunteer Fire Department for their quick action and cooperation during the investigation.Â
