New York State Troopers took to snowmobiles and UTV's to check on stranded drivers on I-81 south between exits 7 and 8 in the town of Barker, where the roadway is shut down during Winter Storm Gail.
A New York State Trooper is lucky to be alive after a Penske box truck crashed into the back of him while on the shoulder of the Northway just south of the Twin Bridges.
