Driver falls asleep, truck finds pond
| 
| 
A tractor-trailer truck driver fell asleep at the wheel Thursday morning and drove into a pond in Seneca, Ontario County.
Michael M. Harrell, 54, of Rockfall, Conn., was northbound on County Road 5 when he fell asleep shortly after 7 a.m. and drove across both lanes and off the road, according to Ontario County sheriff's deputies.
The cab of the tractor-trailer went into a pond on the west side of the road and the empty trailer came to rest on the road, blocking both lanes for about five hours, deputies said.
No injuries were reported, though Harrell was checked over at the scene, deputies said.
Harrell drives for Bozzutos Inc. of Cheshire, Conn. and had just delivered a load of groceries in Penn Yan, Yates County, deputies said. He was driving to Waterloo, Seneca County, when he fell asleep.
Harrell was ticketed for failure to keep right, a violation. Deputies are investigating the crash.
