On Monday, another crash occurred at a known trouble spot on Route 2 in Grafton.  A vehicle attempting to enter the Grafton Lakes State Park via the entrance loop, was struck in the side by a westbound vehicle.  As of press time, law enforcement had not yet released the names of the two victims taken to Samaritan Hospital for treatment of what was described as non-life threatening injuries. The Grafton Rescue Squad, the Mohawk Ambulance Service and the Grafton Fire Department also responded to the scene.
