Alder Creek, NY - The Forestport FD was called to State Highway 12 in the area of the Alder Creek Golf Course on March 10th for reports of an MVA. Arriving units found a black GMC and gray Ford pickup, both with heavy front end damage, blocking lanes in both the northbound and southbound sides of the road.

Both drivers were able to remove themselves, but a passenger in the gray pickup was complaining of injuries and unable to exit the vehicle due to a jammed door. Firefighters were able to quickly extricate the woman from the passenger seat.

It is believed that a merging truck cut off another truck with a trailer who was not able to stop in time or slow down and clipped the front corners of both trucks, causing the accident. Two patients were transported by Boonville EMS and Old Forge EMS to local hospitals for minor injuries and evaluations.

Forestport Fire was assisted on the scene by Boonville EMS and Old Forge EMS, as well as the NYS Police and Oneida County Sheriff's Office.
