According to a written release from the NYSP the results of their preliminary "(investigation) revealed Lottie M. Moody, 82 of Saranac Lake was operating a 2012 Jeep Compass motor vehicle westbound on State Route 86, when she failed to yield the right of way causing the 2007 Harley Davidson motorcycle to strike the side of the vehicle ejecting both the driver and passenger off the motorcycle."
