COHOES, N.Y. -- A 38-year-old man is dead after a head-on crash on the Cohoes-Waterford Bridge Thursday morning.

Police say Lawrence Brisson II from Cohoes was found unresponsive. He was pronounced dead a short time later at Samaritan Hospital.

Mayor Shawn Morse says Brisson was heading to Cohoes when his car and a truck collided.

So far, there's no word on what caused the crash. 

The crash caused major traffic tie-ups during the morning rush, forcing the bridge to shut down for a couple of hours.
