According to state police, when the truck slammed into the vehicles ahead, the massive metal beam shifted and crashed through the driver’s compartment. This left the truck driver pinned, and emergency crews had to work quickly to free them. Thankfully, the driver was taken to the hospital but suffered serious injuries. Two other drivers involved in the crash were also hospitalized, though their injuries were minor.
