2ND XNG TRUCK

RUNS OFF RT. 205

RIG SENT ON WAY, ACTIVIST SAYS

A second XNG natural-gas carrier has driven off Route 205, according to Bill Huston, an activist from the Binghamton area, the last of three trucks driving in tandem.  First call went out at 6:30 p.m. last night.   “The third in the group was driving too fast up the hill, lost control and had to drive into a ditch yards away from the accident that occurred just months ago,” Huston wrote in an email.  Emergency responders were dispatched to the scene, but the truck was pulled back onto the pavement and sent on its way, he added.  The photo was taken by a emergency responder called to the scene about 9 a.m., Huston said.  The mishap is in the same vicinity at a rig that went off the road and toppled over in September, he added.

  1. I think it’s part of the routine. I grew up in the Fort Plain area where the thruway runs through trucks went off there too. Icy roads could have contributed. This whole XNG thing is getting old. They have a job to do and they are no different than the oil trucks that drive around. So if you are going to complain about XNG then complain about the oil trucks too. Like i said in a prior post people have too much time on their hands.
