Emergency responders extracted Rust from his truck by Rutland Fire and Rescue. He was airlifted to Upstate University Hospital with internal injuries described by police as “severe”.
The investigation is continuing. Police have yet to say what could have caused Rust to cross the opposing lanes of traffic.
