| At 11:11 a.m., Potsdam Fire, Potsdam Rescue, and County Car 10 were dispatched to a SiriusXM crash detection on State Highway 11B. Dispatch further updated that this would be a 1 car motor vehicle accident with airbag deployment and injuries. Upon arrival, our engine crew found one car off the road after it struck a telephone pole.

Both individuals involved were treated on scene and transported to Canton Potsdam Hospital by Potsdam Rescue and Parishville Rescue.
