Although highway crews were out in force on Wednesday morning tending to the icy and slippery roads, the Ramapo Police Department and other first responders were dealing with a crash in Sloatsburg when a Sanitation truck slid off the road on Route 17.
Officers and crews from the Sloatsburg Volunteer Ambulance Corp., Sloatsburg Fire Department, paramedics from Tuxedo, the Tuxedo Fire Department and Rockland Paramedic Service were dispatched to the intersection of Sterling Mine Road and Eagle Valley Road at approximately 6:30 a.m., where there were reports of a crash that left the car’s occupants with non-life threatening injuries.
A truck sustained heavy damage in the crash, and the occupants were taken to Good Samaritan Hospital for treatment and evaluation. Their condition was not immediately available on Wednesday morning, but the injuries were deemed non-life threatening.
