RENSSELAERVILLE — Amid freshly fallen snow, a county plow truck struck a home in Rensselaerville on Dec. 9.

Mary Rozak, spokeswoman for Albany County, said in a voicemail last Friday morning that the accident was weather-related.

“Mother Nature … was actively depositing some snow,” said Rozak.

She also said the county’s Department of Public Works had exercised “an abundance of caution.”

A police report of the accident states that, a little after 3 p.m. on Dec. 9, Allen J. Gifford of Greenville was driving a county-owned dump truck northward on Route 353 when it lost control due to ice and snow on the road, striking a building located about 200 feet from an intersection with Pond Hill Road.

The report states the building, located at 5050 Delaware Turnpike in Rensselaerville, is owned by Michael Devonshire. One injury occurred in the accident, the report says.

This is not the first time a building on that corner has been hit in the Rensselaerville hamlet. In August 2001, the porch of a house adjacent to Devonshire’s home was hit by a truck. The truck had driven down the hill and entered the hairpin turn before it struck the porch.

Over a decade later, in 2014, the residents of the Rensselaerville hamlet were warned not to park along the 600-foot section of the road containing the narrow turn. The town board also discussed requesting the state to lower the speed limit in that area.

This summer, another truck failed to navigate that turn. The driver of a dump truck that was coming down from Route 353 said his brakes had failed. The truck hit the guardrail along the bridge over Ten Mile Creek and slid down the bridge, stopping just before it hit what appears to be the same home that was struck this month.

The truck, which had a flatbed filled with dirt, clay, and plumbing parts and had a trailer carrying an excavator hitched to it, spilled two gallons of diesel fuel from its tanks.
