A Brooklyn man froze to death in his car after he and his wife spent 32
hours stranded in below zero temperatures upstate.
The couple was driving home from a wedding in Montreal when their car crashed off Interstate-87 around 1 a.m. Thursday.
Barbara Langner had tried to call for help with her cell phone but couldn’t get service.
Family members reported them missing, and state police found the
couple Friday in their Lincoln Town Car in North Hudson, about 90 miles
north of Albany.
When authorities found the couple, Alfred Langner – who was 63 –
had died of hypothermia. Barbara Langner is hospitalized. She suffered
frostbite and also hurt her back.
