The Durango then hit a pickup truck that was traveling west, and the pickup truck rolled on its side. The semi trailer also rolled on its side, and it destroyed a guard rail in the area.
Lucas said the driver of the semi trailer had to be extracted, but he sustained only minor injuries. There were six people in the Durango, and they received only minor injuries. The two individuals in the pickup truck were treated at the scene and released.
