TYRE, N.Y. (AP) — State police say one person has died and another is in critical condition after a tractor-trailer and a car collided on the Thruway in central New York during white-out conditions.

Troopers say the truck was traveling east on Interstate 90 around 8 p.m. Monday when a car in front of it went out of control, causing the truck to hit the driver's side of the car. The crash occurred near Exit 41 in the Seneca County town of Tyre, 35 miles west of Syracuse.

Police say an adult passenger in the car died at the scene. Another person is hospitalized with critical injuries while a third person was treated for minor injuries. Their names haven't been released.

Troopers say there was blowing snow at the time.

The crash shut down both eastbound lanes until nearly 12:30 a.m. Tuesday.
