Tractor-Trailer reason for Resort Wreck

Following a collision near the Saratoga Hot Springs Resort, an investigation by the Saratoga Police Department determined the incident was caused by tractor-trailer traffic in the area.

On May 31, around 9:40 a.m., the Saratoga Police Department received a report of a traffic collision on Pic Pike Road. According to SPD Chief Mike Morris, officers arrived on the scene and found that a pickup truck driven by an area resident had collided with a fence.

“The driver of the truck reported they had been driving eastbound on Pic Pike and had swerved to avoid a tractor-trailer that had turned wide into their lane,” Morris said. “The collision caused significant damage to both the fence and pick-up truck. There were no injuries reported.”
