Auburn, NY : Two-car crash in Auburn sends one to hospital, causes traffic delays on Monday August 29, 2016

A two-car motor vehicle accident in Auburn Monday morning has sent a driver to the hospital while causing delays on the eastbound Arterial.

Antonia Natone, 91, of Auburn was driving a red Chrysler P.T. Cruiser north on State Street when she turned onto the eastbound lane of the Arterial, witnesses to the accident said. A truck, driven by 18-year-old Ryan Henry of Wolcott, was traveling on the Arterial at the time, and the two vehicles clipped each other.

Natone smashed into the corner traffic light pole on State Street and the Arterial, causing significant damage to her car and severing wires on the pole. The Auburn Fire Department said the New York State Department of Transportation was notified about the pole.

Police initially were diverting traffic Monday morning while the accident was cleared, and temporary stop signs were put in place until DOT could fix the light. By Monday afternoon, the light was functioning.

Henry appeared to have no serious injuries. Natone was transported to Auburn Community Hospital with minor injuries.
