GLENVILLE, New York — October 16, 2026 — A 22-year-old motorcyclist from Corinth, New York, died Thursday afternoon after his motorcycle collided with a car on State Route 50 in Glenville, according to local news reports citing police.
The victim was identified as Maxwell David Jones. The collision occurred at approximately 3:13 p.m. on October 15 near the intersection of Saratoga Road, also known as Route 50, and Kingsbury Road.
According to Glenville police, Jones was traveling northbound on Route 50 when a car pulled out from Kingsbury Road and entered the motorcycle’s path. The vehicles collided, leaving the motorcyclist with fatal injuries.
