ITHACA, N.Y. — A pick-up truck driver will not be charged after its vehicle crashed into the side of a house in the 300 block of Mineah Road in the town of Dryden early Saturday morning.
The incident was reported over the weekend by the Dryden Fire Department and Dryden Ambulance and further detailed Wednesday morning by the Tompkins County Sheriff’s Office. It occurred around 4:30 a.m. on Saturday, when emergency personnel responded to a report of a truck crashing into a house causing “significant damage.”
Sheriff Derek Osborne wrote that upon arrival, deputies found a 2015 Ford F-350 lodged in a wall of the house, with extensive damage to the house’s kitchen. None of the residents were injured and were all able to leave the house.
Osborne said the driver of the vehicle was injured and taken to a regional trauma center, though he said the sheriff’s office did not have an update on their condition.
“The investigation revealed that the vehicle was traveling eastbound on Mount Pleasant Road at high speed and failed to negotiate the intersection with Mineah Road causing it to leave the roadway and strike the residence,” Osborne said.
The driver, who was not identified, will be issued vehicle and traffic law tickets after the investigation, but Osborne said at this time there does not appear to be anything criminal about the incident.
It is unclear if the residents of the house have been displaced as a result of the crash.
