The load was a windmill base being transported by tractor-trailer when police say it veered into the northbound lane of State Route 3 and the load became detached from the tractor.  The trailer, with the windmill base attached, rolled over, damaging the roadway of State Route 3 before coming to rest in a corn field.

The road was closed for over 3 hours yesterday while NYSDOT crews repaired the roadway.  Police say that the windmill base will be removed from the corn field tomorrow and that Route 3 will be closed during that time.
