critical condition.
A Beacon man is
facing DWI and drugs charges. Police pulled over Daniel Usher Saturday on

The tolls on the five bridges operated by the New
York State Bridge Authority will be going cashless beginning this summer.
Cashless tolling will be rolled out in phases, starting in July 2021 at the
Newburgh-Beacon Bridge. The process will be completed next spring at all five
bridges, including the Bear Mountain, Mid-Hudson, Kingston-Rhinecliff and Rip
Van Winkle bridges.
