VIDEO: A truck caught fire following a two-vehicle crash on Route 49 in Floyd Thursday evening.
Authorities were called to the scene just after 5 p.m.
Upon arrival, Oneida County Sheriff's Deputies determined that Jonathan Jackson Jr of Utica, was operating a grey 2010 Ford sedan Westbound in the passing lane on Route 49. Jackson's vehicle was passed in the driving lane by a red 2002 Dodge pick-up operated by Erin Archer of Taberg.
After passing the sedan, Archer entered into the passing lane and due to aggressive driving and following too closely, Archer applied his breaks and Jackson was unable to avoid a collision, striking the pick-up truck in the driver side rear bumper with the front passenger side bumper of the sedan causing the pick-up to lose control.
