Car vs. Tractor Trailer

Around 9:15 a.m. Monday the elderly male driver of an older model Nissan Maxima station wagon pulled out onto Route 428 from Main Street and into the side of an tractor-trailer rig rolling west on 428.

Initially hitting the truck’s trailer at right angles the Maxima was then dragged into a position parallel with the side of the trailer, causing heavy damage to the car. The Maxima disengaged from the trailer in front of the art gallery and the truck pulled into the parking lot of the convenience store just down the street.
The driver and his elderly female passenger were not injured and were driven home by a Police officer. The big rig’s driver was not injured and the trailer suffered very minor damage.
