GEDDES, NY -- We're learning more about the driver of the truck in Thursday’s crash on 690 in Lakeland.
Shawn Sanford does not currently face any charges, but he does have a history of driving violations. Police say the hydraulic lift on Sanford's truck was raised and hit a bridge above the highway.
A chunk of concrete fell onto an SUV traveling behind, sending seven people to the hospital, including four adults and three children.
Emergency personnel who responded to Thursday's accident on 690 say the outcome could have been much worse. Firefighters from Lakeside, Solvay and Baldwinsville responded to the scene. News 10 Now's Katie Morse spoke with firefighters who say this was one of the most challenging rescues they've ever been a part of.
Watch the press conference from Thursday's bridge accident.
A portion of the pedestrian bridge over I-690 that was damaged Thursday has been removed. Crews worked overnight into Friday morning to remove a section of the walkway.
Sanford's commercial driver's license was revoked for a year in 2006 after he was charged with driving while impaired. He was also convicted of disobeying a traffic device and backing unsafely, both in 2006.
The truck Sanford was driving is owned by Robinson Rolloff of Auburn. We placed a call to them, however, they had no comment.
