Peter B. Bonenfant, 19, and Philip F. Jacobus, 72, both died hours after the early morning collision on Route 28 in the Town of Olive in Ulster County, outside of Kingston, on Sunday, New York State Troopers announced.<\/p>\n

Bonenfant was driving a 2024 Chevrolet westbound when he crossed over into the eastbound lane, striking Jacobus\u2019 2021 Mercedes-Benz just before 6:50 a.m.<\/p>\n

Both drivers were extricated from their cars by first responders and transported to HealthAlliance Hospital in Kingston, where Bonenfant succumbed to his injuries.<\/p>\n

Jacobus was transferred to MidHudson Regional Hospital southeast of Kingston, across the Hudson River in Poughkeepsie, where he died, police said.<\/p>\n

Officials have launched an investigation and have not shared a reason for Bonenfant crossing into oncoming traffic.<\/p>\n

Jacobus, a Kingston resident, was the founder and President of Owen Kane Holdings, a Wall Street-based medical equipment supplier.<\/p>\n

He created and served as CEO of DOTmed, the \u201cworld\u2019s leading public medical equipment marketplace.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jacobus, who had been in the medical industry since the 1970s, founded both companies in 1999 after working in both the People\u2019s Republic of China and the Soviet Union, according to his biography.<\/p>\n

Bonenfant, a 2025 Smithtown West graduate on Long Island, had committed to playing Division I lacrosse at Queens University of Charlotte.<\/p>\n

Before the 2025 fall semester, Bonenfant decided against heading to North Carolina, instead choosing to stay closer to home and study to be an electrician, Newsday reported.<\/p>\n

The teen was the adoptive son of Chris Bonenfant, a retired Suffolk County and NYPD officer, according to the outlet.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

He was remembered for his bright personality and positive attitude.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeter Bonefant was only 19 years old, but in his short life, he had already made the kind of impression on people that lasts forever,\u201d a GoFundMe set up for his family read. \u201cHe was the sort of person who could walk into a room and bring energy with him.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeter had a way of making people feel comfortable, welcome, and valued. To the people who knew him best, he was not simply a friend, a son, a brother, or a loved one\u2014he was someone who made life brighter just by being part of it,\u201d the memorial said.<\/p>\n

Bonenfant was known for his love of cars as he featured several different vehicles he enjoyed working on across his social media accounts.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeter deserved more time. He deserved the chance to grow older, experience more of life, build more memories, and continue being there for the people he loved,\u201d the GoFundMe read. \u201cWhile we cannot change what happened, we can make sure that his memory is honored with the love and respect he deserves.\u201d<\/p>\n
