An individual driving a 2010 Honda Civic, pulled out of the Tall Pines Industrial Park, 382 Route 59, onto State Highway 59, into a 2011 Nissan Altima traveling westbound on Route 59. The Altima veered toward the eastbound lane, sideswiping a 1998 Infinity I30, operated by a 67-year-old male, from Monsey, NY.
