Officials say Mulford and his unidentified passenger were traveling westbound on Highway 6 in a 2001 Dodge Ram pickup and approaching the intersection with Highway 71, at the same time Kaycee Anstey, of Massena, was traveling east in a 2005 Ford Focus. Both drivers had the green light.

The pickup, which was following behind another vehicle that had just turned left onto southbound 71, also made the left turn, but it collided with the car. Both vehicles ended up on the southeast side of the intersection. The damage amounted to $12,000.
