The Seneca County Sheriff’s Department joined South Seneca Ambulance and fire crews from Ovid, Lodi, and Interlaken. Mutual aid ambulances from Trumansburg and Bangs also responded.
First responders evaluated five patients and transported them to Cayuga Medical Center and Geneva General Hospital with injuries that weren’t life-threatening. Tow companies cleared the wreckage, and highway crews treated and reopened the road.
