Both Nester and a passenger from the pickup truck, Lori Ritter, age 57, of Clayville, were transported to a local hospital to be evaluated for chest pain.

Nester was issued a citation for failure to yield right of way when making a left turn, returnable to Paris Town Court at a later date.

Assisting on scene were members of the New York State Police, Edwards Ambulance, and the Sauquoit Fire Department
