Incident Report

A three-vehicle crash on Katie Road in the Town of Watertown prompted a multi-agency response late Tuesday morning, according to dispatch radio traffic. Watertown Fire and ambulance units were initially sent to the scene, with EMS coordinators also dispatched to the area of Katie Road near County Route 62 and Waite Road. Early radio traffic indicated at least two people were reported injured, and dispatch relayed that a female was believed to be trapped in a truck.

As the response developed, Town of Watertown Engine 1 and multiple ambulances responded, while a Jefferson County sheriff’s unit also headed to assist. Guilfoyle EMS was requested on mutual aid for additional ambulance coverage, and command later asked for a fourth ambulance. After Watertown fire units arrived, command reported there was no entrapment. Responders then advised that three patients would need transport from the scene, including two children and one adult, and incoming EMS units were directed to approach through a nearby entrance to reach the crash.

According to radio updates, Mercy Flight was placed on standby and dispatch later advised that two helicopters were being assigned for the incident’s landing zone operations, though ground transport ultimately became the focus of later traffic. Guilfoyle units reported transporting patients to Samaritan Medical Center, with radio traffic indicating multiple patients were taken from the scene. The incident remained active for about 86 minutes before the last assisting law enforcement unit cleared the call at 12:33 p.m.
