BARRE – A tractor trailer tipped over on Route 98 this evening, crashing into a guard rail near the Genesee County line.
The driver was taken by ambulance to be treated for a head injury at United Memorial Medical Center in Batavia.
A section of Route 98 continues to be closed to traffic due to the accident, Orleans County Sheriff Chris Bourke said.
The truck was loaded with cabbage and the weight shifted, causing the trailer to sway off the roadway and strike a guard rail near the county line, he said.
“The impact made the trailer axel become detached from the trailer,” Bourke said.
