Accident at Industrial Park Road and 3rd Street
After stopping at the stop sign of the intersection of 3rd Street and Industrial Park Road, 17-year-old Brandon Landry of Birdseye entered the intersection, and his 2005 Toyota Scion was immediately struck by a 2006 Freightliner owned by Masterbrand and driven by 52-year-old William Sanders of Troy. Landry told authorities he did not see the Freightliner, and Sanders was unable to stop in time to avoid hitting Landry’s car. Neither driver was injured in the June 11, 7:13 p.m. accident, and while the Freightliner sustained less than $1,000 in damage, Landry’s car is believed to be a total loss.
