Truck driver clipped another tractor trailer while switching highway lanes

Two trucks crashed on I-84 in Danbury yesterday afternoon snarling traffic westbound for several hours.  A truck driver, 65-year old Samuel Miller of Rochester, moved from the left lane into the center lane and hit the left rear corner of another tractor trailer around 12:30pm. 

Miller veered out of control off the right shoulder and hit a large DOT sign.  The other driver, 54-year old Timothy Linehan of New Hampshire, swerved in the roadway and his tractor trailer came to a rest ahead. 

No injuries were reported. 

Immediate DOT response was required with a payloader to remove the large exit 4 sign from the right shoulder off the roadway. 

Miller was charged by State Police with failure to drive in the established lane. 

In that same area there was an overturned tractor trailer accident reported shortly before 4pm.  The center and right lanes were closed.  At least one person was injured in that accident.  The crash was cleared shortly before 6pm.
