An Upstate New York woman had to be extricated from her vehicle after she was involved in an accident with two tractor trailers.

New York State Police say it happened on Interstate 84 in the town of Montgomery.

Troopers say their preliminary investigation showed that a rig hit the woman from behind, pushing her into the rear of a second tractor trailer. Thirty-year-old Janet Colon of Monroe, NY became entrapped in her vehicle and had to be extricated by EMS and paramedics. Colon was flown to the Westchester Medical Center where she was last listed in critical condition.

 

The driver of the truck that hit Colon from behind is identified by police as Brandon Collins, 30, of Fayetteville, Texas. The second truck operated is 55-year-old Dennis Edner of Owego, NY, state police said.

The crash occurred on Tuesday evening at approximately 6:20 p.m.

Thus fare no tickets have been issued as the investigation is continuing, police said.

The Top 25 Most Baffling UFO Sightings Reported in New York This Year

When residents of the Empire State spot something unexplainable in the skies, they report it to the National UFO Reporting Center. There's been about 80 new sightings so far in 2023 that raised a few hackles.

NUFORC does investigate what people saw to determine if they actually witnessed alien activity or something else. Oftentime, these reports turn out to be false flags. For example; someone from NYC reported seeing a strange, square-like object in the sky on July 22. They provided a photo to NUFORC, who then ruled the person saw an "advertising banner behind a private aircraft."

However, there have been several creepy reports that couldn't be brushed off with a logical explanation. And some of these reports had photo or video evidence attached.
