MENDON, N.Y. — Deputies shut down a road in Mendon on Wednesday as they responded to five separate crashes and for extreme winter weather.
Route 15A between Keyes and Plains roads was shut down as deputies work with the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) and the town’s DOT to make the road safe for drivers. The roadway has since reopened, and the DOT has salted the roadways.
Five separate car crashes happened on that same stretch Wednesday afternoon, starting at about 4:15 p.m. It’s unclear how many vehicles were involved in all the crashes. One person has a minor injury, but no one was taken to the hospital.
News10NBC has issued a Yellow Alert for the incoming lake effect snow, which is expected to last until later Wednesday evening.
