A woman was airlifted to Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse Tuesday morning after a multi-vehicle crash involving a manure spreader.
Jill R. Ashley-Williams, 41 of Groton, NY was traveling east on State Route 222 when she rear-ended a manure spreader being pulled by a John Deere tractor belonging to the Fuller Family Dairy Groton Farm, according to State Police.
While the two drivers assessed the accident, Albert W. Perreault, 71, failed to notice the two vehicles in the road and struck the vehicle driven by Ashley-Williams and the tractor.
Ashley-Williams was extricated from her vehicle by members of McLean Fire Department then transported by LifeNet to Upstate Medical Center. No other injuries were reported.
State Route 222 was closed for over two hours for clean-up, and the cause of the accidents appears to be unsafe speed and bright glare from the sun.
No tickets have been issued at this time.
