New York State Police say three people suffered minor injuries and one suffered serious injuries when a Toyota Camry veered into the opposite lane of State Route 23 in the Town of Harpersfield in Delaware County and slammed, head-on into an International Harvest dump truck at 10:43 a.m. December 19.
