CANTON, New York (WWNY) – Route 11 south of Canton was reopened Friday evening, after being closed much of the afternoon by a collision.
The crash, which happened at 1:15 PM, involved two SUVs and a pick-up truck.
The St. Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office says an investigation has determined Virginia Burwell of Canton failed to slow when the SUV ahead of her slowed to turn on Route 11, crashing her truck into the SUV. The SUV was pushed into oncoming traffic where it struck a third vehicle operated by Connie Busham of Potsdam.
Canton Ambulance took four people to the hospital, but it was not clear Friday night how serious their injuries were.
Burwell was issued a citation for following too close. The investigation is ongoing.
