Two Brinks employees escaped serious injury on Sat., Dec. 13, 2014, when their armored truck ran off the roadway and overturned in the Town of Clarendon.

The incident occurred on Holley-Byron Road (State Route 237) between Hinds Road and Church Street. Gary E.

The truck ran off the west side of the roadway and overturned, coming to rest on its roof.

A passenger in the truck’s rear compartment is identified as James A. Reinertsen, 32, also of Buffalo. Both he and Machlowski were treated at the scene by Clarendon EMS and Monroe Ambulance personnel. Neither individual was transported to the hospital.

Supervisory personnel from Brinks responded to the scene as well as a second armored truck.

The incident was investigated by Deputy M.C. Mele, assisted by Deputy T.N. Tooley.
