Involved in the accident were a Gray Nissan Rogue and a Black Chevrolet pickup. An investigation into the incident showed that the operator of the pickup, 16 year old Hunter Worden of 2109 Stevenson Road in Seneca Falls, started to make a left hand turn off of State Route 318 onto Black Brook Road without yielding to Westbound traffic.
