At approximately 9:50am, a 1995 Mack dump truck, operated by Darin R. Brazie, age 48, from Fayetteville, NY was traveling west bound on I-690 when the driver experienced a blown front tire which caused the truck to strike the guardrail and land on its side, closing the left and center lanes.

Brazie was transported to SUNY Upstate Medical Center for evaluation.

The investigation is continuing.  The New York State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Unit (CVEU) and the NYS DEC Emergency Spill Response Unit assisted at the scene.
