DALTON, Mass. — A three-car accident in front of Cumberland Farms sent two people to the hospital on Tuesday evening. 
 
Dalton first-responders and Hinsdale Police were called to 707 Main St., at Daly Avenue, at 5:21 p.m. for a crash involving two cars — a Toyota Corolla and a Kia sedan — and a GMC Acadia sport utility vehicle.
 
Two people were taken to Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield by County Ambulance, one with serious but non-life threatening injuries, the other with minor injuries, according to police. Three other people refused medical treatment at the scene. 
 
Traffic was slowed or diverted from the main road at Daly Avenue for about an hour.
 
The Fire Department used the Jaws of Life to extricate one person from the Toyota. The accident is under investigation by Dalton Police.

Dalton Finance Makes Reserve Fund Transfers

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — The Finance Committee made two reserve fund transfers last Wednesday night. 
 
The reserve fund balance is currently $60,000. This is the first reserve fund transfer the town has made this fiscal year, committee clerk Karen Schmidt said. 
 
A transfer to the vocational education tuition account for $16,000 was approved. The original appropriation was $605,020 and the present balance is $4,527. 
 
It had been previously demonstrated that setting the budget for this account can be challenging due to the uncertainty about how many students will choose to attend vocational education programs.
 
The vocational education account was reduced by $90,000 during a September special town meeting; however, a spot opened up at a vocational program, so a student decided to transfer after the start of the second quarter. 
 
A transfer for the employee fringe benefits account was approved for $10,000. The original appropriation was $64,180. 
 
The present balance is $4,412.77 and is not sufficient to cover the vacation payouts and sick buy backs of the six employees who left this year.
