FARMINGTON — A truck drove into a snowbank, a car hit two vehicles, and a driver went to the hospital Monday morning after several vehicles crashed near Touch of Class on icy routes 2 and 4.
A vehicle in front of a Lucas Tree Experts bucket truck heading north started to lose control on the road and spun out a bit, Farmington officer Ryan Rosie said.
The truck, driven by Mario Lecours, 59, of Strong, went into a snowbank to avoid a crash, he said.
Two vehicles, one operated by Amanda Hilton, 43, of Wilton, and the other by Brenda Cushman, 40, also of Wilton, who were behind the Lucas Tree truck, were able to stop in their northbound lanes. A third car driven by Lucille Lessard, 69, of Jay, was unable to stop and went between the stopped vehicles, Rosie said.
Lessard complained of shoulder pain and was taken by a NorthStar EMS ambulance to Franklin Memorial Hospital, he said.
The accident slowed traffic.
Lessard’s 2008 Hyundai Sonata received damage to both sides of the vehicle. It was towed from the scene. A large tow truck pulled the Lucas Tree truck back on the road and it was driven away. The company is based in Portland.
Farmington Fire Rescue Department assisted at the scene of the accident, which was reported at about 8 a.m.
Rosie, the officer, said Farmington road crews came and sanded the road where it had become icy.
