GAINES – A towing company takes a mail truck away that was knocked off its side in an accident on Ridge Road after 5 p.m. today.

No one was seriously injured or needed to be transported by ambulance, said Lt. Adam Hazel of the Orleans County Sheriff’s Office.

The driver of the mail truck was attempting to turn around on Ridge Road, just east of Sawyer/Crandall Road, when it was hit by another oncoming vehicle. Neither vehicle had passengers.

The accident closed a section of Ridge Road for about an hour.

Albion firefighters and Mercy Ambulance both responded to the scene. Midnight Oil Operations towed the mail truck.
