According to Oneida County Sheriff Robert Maciol, three people were injured in a one car motor vehicle accident on Quaker Hill Rd in the Town of Western.

On August 7th, 2026, at about 8:20 p.m., Road Patrol Deputies were dispatched to a one car personal injury motor vehicle accident that occurred on Quaker Hill Rd in the Town of Western. Upon arrival, Deputies determined that Brandon Scalzo (Age 23 of Annsville) was operating a 2011 Dodge Pickup Truck in a southerly direction on Quaker Hill Rd and due to unsafe speed, Scalzo failed to keep right and his vehicle crossed over the Northbound lane before exiting the shoulder of Quaker Hill Rd. Scalzo's vehicle collided with a guiderail before traveling down an earth embankment and coming to rest after striking a tree. Scalzo and his two passengers; Katie Dawes (Age 23 of Annsville) and Betty Lynman (Age 29 of Oriskany) were transported to the Wynn Hospital by Amcare Ambulance for non-life threatening injuries.

Scalzo was issued traffic citations returnable to the Western Town Court at a later date.

The Sheriff's Office was assisted on scene by the New York State Police, Western Fire Department, and AmCare Ambulance.
