According to Oneida County Sheriff Robert Maciol on Thursday, Oct. 16 at 9:51 p.m. deputies responded to a single tractor trailer roll over personal injury motor vehicle accident that occurred on state Route 365, in the city of Rome.
Deputies determined that Jeremy Gilbert, 53, Utica, was traveling east on state Route 365 in a 2022 Mack semi-truck with a fully loaded trailer. Gilbert exited the northern shoulder of the roadway, crossed the median into the westbound lane, and overturned.
The Mack then continued to slide across the roadway until it exited the northern shoulder of the westbound lane and came to rest.
Rome Fire Department and AmCare Ambulance responded to the scene. Rescue personnel transported Gilbert to the WYNN Hospital for his non-life threatening injuries.
Deputies determined that Gilbert was at fault for the accident due to failing to maintain his lane.
Gilbert was issued a traffic ticket for failure to maintain lane and will be returnable to Rome City Court on a later date.
Mike Jr’s Automotive assisted in the tow.
