This morning, a semi truck overturned at the roundabout located at Route 9 and Dunning Street in Malta, NY, causing significant traffic disruptions. Eyewitnesses reported that the truck lost balance while navigating the roundabout, leading to a dramatic scene as the vehicle tipped onto its side. Emergency responders quickly arrived on the scene to assess the situation and assist the driver, who fortunately sustained only minor injuries. As of 1p traffic in the area continues to be heavily impacted, with local law enforcement directing vehicles around the accident site to ensure safety.
