Semi truck collides with bear in single vehicle wreck that traps and injures the driver in Pennsylvania late last week.
The incident happened on April 19th just after 4 a.m. in Huston Township, Pennsylvania.
According to WJAC 6 News, the tractor trailer was traveling on Hoovertown Road, also known as Route 153, in Clearfield County when the rig collided with a black bear in the roadway. The collision caused the semi truck to veer off the road and overturn, trapping the driver inside.
The 55-year-old trucker, Troy A. Morningstar, was trapped inside of the cab and had to be extricated. Once freed, Morningstar was transported to a nearby hospital with serious injuries. His current condition is not known, reported Jefferson News.
A portion of Route 153 was closed for several hours as crews worked to clear the wreckage and investigate the incident. No further information has been released.
