Had that feeling.  I was leaving for work this morning and decided to check the traffic report first.  They said that they had it closed from 5 Corners all the way to Burdeck Street.  It was the only real place that I've ever thought there would be an issue along there.


In fact, I remember someone at a town board meeting back a while ago mentioning something.  The person was a longtime resident of Rotterdam (been around as long as I remember) and a teacher over at Schalmont.

A Schenectady man has been charged with driving while intoxicated after wedging his car under a tractor trailer early Friday morning near the Industrial Park.

Rotterdam Police say Darrin Prusko, 42, drove his car under the trailer on Duanesburg Rd. just after 5 a.m. and trapped himself in the car.  Emergency officials were able to extract him from the car and he was taken to Albany Medical Center.  No word on the extent of his injuries...


From the pictures that were with this article, looks like the truck was pulling out.
