Carcass Brook road is a long, unlined, two-lane road that runs between Houck Mountain Road and briefly becomes Rainbow Lodge Road before continuing as Carcass Brook Road to the intersection with Chase Brooke and Readburn Roads at the Rainbow Lodge a few miles to the east of the Cannonsville Reservoir.

That reservoir is where New York City gets some of its water supply. The City owns acres of land around the reservoir, which explains why the NYC Department of Environmental Police was involved in assisting at the scene of the fatal crash.

The Sheriff's office did not indicate where along the miles of winding road the crash occurred or how authorities were informed of the accident.
