Garbage Tractor Trailer Dumps its load on the New York State Thruway 01/23/18
Columbia County 911 dispatched Canaan Firefighters, Red Rock Firefighters under automatic mutual aid, and Chatham Rescue at 2:38pm for a reported tractor trailer on its side at Exit B-3 in the Town of Canaan. The accident occurred on the westbound entry ramp to the New York State Thruway.

A helicopter was placed on standby but declined due to weather. Chatham Rescue reported one that refused medical attention.

The New York State Police from Troop T investigated.

​Thruway maintenance crews assisted at the scene.

The westbound ramp and one lane of the Thruway was closed for several hours.

Firefighters were back in service at 3:42pm.
