Police investigate tractor trailer roll-over in city of Rome

ROME- An update has surfaced from Thursday night’s tractor trailer roll-over in the city of Rome, NY.

According to Sheriff’s investigators, Jeremy Gilbert, age 53, from Utica, NY was traveling east on State Route 365 in a 2022 Mack semi-truck, with a fully loaded trailer.

Police say he exited the northern shoulder of the roadway, crossed the median into the westbound lane, and overturned. The rig continued to slide across the roadway until it exited the northern shoulder of the westbound lane and came to rest.

Rome Fire Department and AmCare Ambulance responded to the scene.

Gilbert was transported to the WYNN Hospital for what emergency personnel described as non-life threatening injuries.

Deputies determined that Gilbert was at fault for the accident due to failing to maintain his lane.

Gilbert was issued a traffic ticket for failure to maintain lane and will be returnable to Rome City Court on a later date.
