NORWICH – A delivery truck carrying a load of animal carcasses to a processing plant in Utica lost control in the Wednesday morning rain and careened into a town of Norwich home, injuring the driver.

The unoccupied trailer, located at 1011 along County Road 34, also suffered damage in the impact and left a gaping hole in the structure’s wall, exposing the interior to the elements.

The Chenango County Sheriff’s Office reported that the truck’s driver, 50-year-old Joseph Dimasse of Utica, was taken by the South New Berlin Fire Department’s ambulance to Chenango Memorial Hospital with minor chest and neck pains.
