NISKAYUNA, NY – A Schuylerville teen was pronounced dead after a car crash on Saturday in Niskayuna.

The accident happened at 4:00 p.m. on Aqueduct Road.

Police say 16-year-old Nicholas Giovannone, of Schuylerville, was operating a 1991 Honda eastbound on Aqueduct Road when he crossed over into the westbound lane. Giovannone's vehicle struck a 2002 Ford Taurus head on.

The driver of the Ford Taurus, 25-year-old Joseph Mormon-Tibbs, of Schenectady, was transported by medical-flight to Albany Medical Center with serious injuries.

Giovannone was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police say Giovannone's vehicle speed and failure to stay within a lane are preliminary contributing factors in the cause of the crash. Giovannone was also not wearing a seat belt.

The investigation is still on-going. Stay tuned for updates.
