State police are investigating a fatal crash this past weekend in the town of Cairo.

Troopers say it happened on State Route 145 at Lincoln Drive. A 79-year old driver was traveling east on Lincoln and crossed 145 right into the path of a motorcycle.

The motorcycle driver, 55-year old Kevin Sweeney of Catskill, hit the front passenger side of the car and was thrown from his motorcycle. He died before he could be taken by air to the hospital. The driver and her husband, who was a passenger, were treated for minor injuries.

Troopers say the investigation is ongoing.
