One person was injured in a two-vehicle crash at a busy Dunkirk intersection Thursday afternoon. Dunkirk Police say 71-year-old Robert Morse, Sr. of Dunkirk was making a left turn in his pickup truck from Main Street onto Lake Shore Drive just before 2:00 PM, when he went through a red light and collided with a tractor trailer driven by 34-year-old Mladen Clijanovic of Blasdell. Morse crashed into the driver's side tire and fuel tank of the tractor trailer, causing significant damage to his pickup. Morse told officers that he was waiting at the intersection when cars ahead of him were going, so he proceeded to follow. Morse was taken to Brooks Memorial Hospital via Alstar Ambulance for apparent minor injuries. Clijanovic was not injured.
