Lots of twisted metal, but only a minor injury in an accident on Route 77 in Darien on Father's Day.
The driver of an empty milk truck was cited for allegedly following too closely.
That driver, Harold T. Scheg, 51, of Clarence, had a complaint of pain in his hand and arm, but was not taken to a hospital.
The other driver, James Tischendorf, was not injured.
According to an accident report prepared by Deputy Chris Parker, Scheg was northbound on Route 77 near O'Connor Road, following a truck and trailer driven by Tischendorf. Scheg initiated a passing maneuver because, according to the report, Tischendorf's vehicle was "moving slow." At that point, Tishendorf started a left turn into a driveway.
Scheg said he didn't see a turn signal. Tishendorf said he signaled.
The accident was reported at 2:07 p.m.
