Victim In Deadly Taconic Crash Is ID'd As 34-Year-Old Chappaqua Man By New York State Police

TOWN OF CLINTON, NY — Authorities have released the identity of the Westchester man killed in a deadly collision on the Taconic.

On Feb. 11, around 11 p.m., troopers assigned to the New York State Police Poughkeepsie barracks responded to a report of a two-vehicle crash on the southbound Taconic State Parkway, near mile marker 59.1 in the Town of Clinton.

An investigation conducted by the Bureau of Criminal Investigation at Poughkeepsie and Troop K's Collision Reconstruction Unit found that a 2025 GMC operated by 65-year-old Jeffrey P. Tennent, of Bolton Landing, was traveling south when it struck 34-year-old Shutong Li, of Chappaqua, who was outside of his vehicle in the right lane. The GMC then continued south and struck Li's disabled vehicle, a 2024 Lexus that was partially parked on the shoulder.

Li was taken to Mid-Hudson Regional Hospital with serious injuries, and was later pronounced dead.

Tennent, who was not injured, remained at the scene with police.
