The woman, 18-yar-old Clarice Edinger, was driving northbound, and while she was texting on her cellphone her car drifted in the southbound lane. She struck a truck, driven by 58-year-old Eugene Bennick of Clymer, N.Y., that was carrying milk.

Bennick couldn’t avoid hitting Edinger’s car. After the collision, the truck went up an embankment and stopped 150 feet from the highway. Edinger was taken to St. Elizabeth Health Center for treatment.
