A slippery highway is to blame for a one-car accident at 6:53 p.m., Saturday, that sent one person to the hospital with minor injuries.
Adam F. Helmer, 28, of Chestnut Ridge, Middleport, was reportedly driving west on Route 5 in the area of the former Batavia Party House, Stafford, when he lost control of a 2005 Ford pickup truck.
The truck slid off the south shoulder of Route 5 and into a ditch, turning onto its passenger side.
Helmer's passenger, 27-year-old Cheryl Cary, of Chestnut Ridge, Middleport, who owns the truck, was transported to UMMC by Mercy EMS.
The infant with Helmer and Cary was not injured.
No citations were issued.
The accident was investigated by Sgt. Greg Walker.
