Serious accident causes injuries near state fairgrounds

Several people were hurt Thursday morning in an accident near the New York State Fairgrounds.

A truck struck a pedestrian bridge over Interstate 690 around 11 a.m. Thursday, and debris from the bridge fell and struck a minivan traveling in an eastbound lane, causing the vehicle to crash, authorities said.

Troopers say six to eight people were trapped in the minivan. They were taken to nearby hospitals by helicopter and ambulance.
