Failure to yield determined cause of accident

A police investigation in Seneca has determined a cause for a multi-vehicle accident around 10:15 Saturday morning at the East End intersection–the 123 By-Pass and SC 130, the Rochester Highway.  Responders were faced with reports a possible entrapment and one overturned small truck that came to rest atop two others.  The driver of a Nissan, a Seneca man, was sent to the hospital with what were believed to be non-life threatening injuries.  Here’s the account provided by Capt. McClure of how it occurred:  “An investigation of the traffic collision was conducted and determined that the collision was caused when driver of Nissan truck had been traveling east on Bypass 123 and attempted to make a left turn onto Rochester Highway to travel north, when he failed to yield the right of way to the driver who was traveling west through the intersection, turning into his pathway, and causing the Toyota to collide with the passenger side of the Nissan truck, overturning it and pushing it into two vehicles that were sitting at the red light on Rochester Highway facing south, being the Toyota sedan and the Jeep SUV.”
