Route 44 Accident Injuries at Least One, Creates Some Traffic Snares

Two-car crash near Dyer Avenue.

A two-car accident on Route 44 near Dyer Avenue resulted in at least one injury and impeded eastbound traffic for a short time Wednesday morning. 

The accident occurred shortly before 8 a.m. At least one person was injured but initial police radio reports indicated it was not life threatening. The crash did cause a few headaches in the eastbound lane and officers called for a wrecker as soon as possible since one vehicle was located in a dangerous spot on the roadway. 

Fire police from the town of Canton Volunteer Fire and EMS Department directed traffic while Canton police officers and wrecker companies attended to the accident.
