On 12/22/09, Steven M. Mellen, 47, of 308 Walradt St., Fulton, NY, was operating a 1999 Chevrolet pickup truck southbound on SR 48 in the Town of Minetto at 6:22 a.m. when he lost control at the intersection of Community Drive. The truck veered to the right and struck a parked trailer that was behind a parked 1996 Chevrolet pickup truck registered to Thomas A. Marsalo, of PO Box 56, Minetto, NY. The impact caused Mr. Mellen’s truck to continue on and strike the 1996 Chevrolet pickup truck that was attached to the trailer, then continued southbound striking a 1998 Chevrolet pickup truck driven by Carl C. Allen, 86, of 53 CR 31, Oswego, that was stopped at the stop sign. The incident appears to have been the result of Mr. Mellen falling asleep at the wheel. He was ticketed for Moved from Lane Unsafely.
