A one car crash in Malta proved fatal on Wednesday, according to State Police.
According to police reports, State Police in Wilton responded to a one car fatal crash on I-87 south in the Town of Malta, Wednesday, Oct. 20, at 3:17 p.m. The driver of the 2010 Nissan Versa was the lone occupant and is identified as Anita Whitesell, 83, of Indian Lake Estates, Fla.
