PHILIPSTOWN - A Dutchess County woman was under the influence of drugs when she drove her car across a double-yellow line on Route 9 this morning and slammed head-on into a marked cruiser driven by a Putnam County Sheriff's deputy, police said today.

Deputy Matthew D. Boscia, a 25-year-old who is a 13-month member of the Putnam County Sheriff's Office, suffered fractures to his left ankle, left leg and left arm in the 6:35 a.m. crash that took place about a mile south of Route 301, Sheriff Donald B. Smith said in a release.

Wow. I heard that call go out this AM once I got into work. Heard Mobile Life, and I believe BVAC?? get dispatched m/a to Putnam County to assist at a "serious injury MVA". At least now I know what it was.

Hope for the best for the Deputy, and a speedy recovery!!
