Taghkanic resident Scott Stackpole took the three photographs above of a milk truck which “overturned on the icy hill in front of our house on Saturday evening.”
Stackpole writes that there was “a lot of spilled milk, but no injuries (or crying).” While the tractor itself “remained upright” and the driver was apparently uninjured, “another vehicle came along and collided with the truck before traffic could be stopped on the icy hill.”
Responders included the Stalker wrecking crew from Hillsdale, Taghkanic Volunteer Fire Department, the Columbia Co. Sheriff's Office, New York State Police, New York State Department of Enviromental Conservation, the Greenport ambulance squad, and Columbia County Highway Department, which cleared ice from the road for the others.
