The driver of the white GMC Sierra ran the red light at the intersection and crashed into the brown Ford F-150, T-boning the truck on the driver’s side door, Trombley said.

Neither driver required medical treatment at the scene, but the Ford F-150 truck was rendered inoperable in the crash and had to be towed from the scene.

The driver of the GMC Sierra was issued a citation for failure to obey traffic signal, Trombley said.
