A driver may have failed to signal before making a left-hand turn on Route 77 in Alabama this afternoon leading to a collision with a semi-truck that was trying to pass his vehicle.
Both the driver and one of his passenger's were injured in the 1:06 p.m. accident at the intersection of Route 77 and Ledge Road.
No citations were issued, according to the accident report prepared by Deputy Chris Parker.
Suffering minor injuries were Randolph S. Mattice, 44, of Court Street, Syracuse, and Christie A. Rogers, 51.
Both a witness and the truck driver reported they didn't see a turn signal on Mattice's vehicle.
The truck driver, William Conroy, 42, of Williamee Road, Trumansburg, was not injured.
Suzanne M. Walsh, owner of the 2000 Pontiac Driven by Mattice, was also uninjured.

Seems to me the truck bears some degree of responsibility here as well.
