Police were searching for the driver of a delivery truck who fled the scene of an accident Friday.
According to a report, a Patchogue man driving on Main Road near Cox Lane swerved to avoid a deer in the roadway and accidentally collided with a telephone pole, causing extensive damage to the pole, before leaving the scene.
The man was later tracked down by police to his place of employment, where he reportedly told police that he got confused. No injures were reported and the man isn’t facing any criminal charges.
