It has been a tough Monday for Allegany County, NY Responders


It has been a tough Monday for Allegany County Responders

In Allegany County, NY, Monday morning reports surfaced that a manure tanker truck had crashed on County Road 27 at the Wiscoy Falls Bridge in Hume - radio reported indicated heavy damage to the bridge. The truck, loaded with manure crashed, the driver was trapped, the fuel tanks had ruptured and there was “content” scattered everywhere. Several fire and EMS agencies responded, along with state police, DEC, the County Emergency Manager, HAZMAT equipment and county officials. Radio reports indicated there was extensive bridge damage. The county road was closed and additional help was called from Pike Fire in Wyoming County. An air ambulance was also placed on alert. It was a challenging scene. The status of the driver is unknown. 

Then again, around 3 p.m., Allegany County Emergency Services were called to a tractor trailer rollover in Hume. Early reports didn’t indicate any serious personal injury, but again, as requested, fire and EMS was brought to the scene.
