— Personal-injury accident
JAY -- A Wilmington woman was listed in stable condition Tuesday evening after suffering injuries from a motorcycle accident.
According to Wilmington-based State Police, Randoll Smith, 53, of Wilmington was driving north on Route 9N in the town of Jay with passenger Beverly Hayward, 47, of Wilmington.
A deer entered the roadway from the west shoulder and struck both Smith and Hayward.
The deer ran off and Smith pulled over to the east shoulder of the road.
State Police said Hayward sustained a broken leg and was transported to Adirondack Medical Center in Lake Placid where she was still being treated Tuesday night.
Road Reopened
ROUSES POINT -- Route 9B was reopened Tuesday afternoon after being closed for a brief period.
Power lines were down across Route 9B between Choiniere Road in Champlain and Rouses Point's Smith Street, blocking access to the village.
State Police and Rouses Point Police began detouring traffic late morning with assistance from local firefighters. Motorists were sent down Choiniere Road and then onto Smith Street.
Clinton County Fire Control didn't know how the wires came down, but a firefighter directing traffic said they were caught by a passing tractor-trailer.
