A propane truck rollover early Thursday morning led to a coordinated emergency response in Genoa, New York, with the driver escaping serious injury.
At 8:25 a.m., the Genoa Volunteer Fire Department, King Ferry Fire Department, and Four Town Ambulance were dispatched to the intersection of East Genoa Road and Goose Street after reports of a fuel truck accident.
